If we're able to understand the process and the why a designer did something i think we could be able to deliver the same quality of work (obviously depending on our own experience and expertise in the given field). Could it also be that those good designers have just got to almost memorize and know by heart those "design gold rules"? and they just apply those tips and tricks using different color schemes and fonts while creating compelling, constant work? I mean a designer knows that the more "rules" he learns, the easier is to create better work... ie: u look at a design (graphic, web, 3d, illustration, or whatever your field of expertise is) and it tends to get easier to praise and value the work of a fellow designer because you know those guidelines, u know if its an effective design or not.... So id say its a combo between doing your homework and do some research and trying to find patterns in effective design in any medium and a summary of experiences that lead us to that urge i think most of us can only explain by saying we love what we do, we live our lives one pixel at a time, so we spend most of our time trying to improve the quality of our lives.
