heh jeedoubleu found one source, it explans some design decisions, you are 'borrowing' without understanding, changing things gets dangerous at that point because you might break it
teach yourself design, SURE if you're a genius and have some natural visual talent, otherwhise you better rely on knowledge that was discovered before, i.e. books or reverse engineer, analyse the things you like to low level and explore what makes you like them and how you can break the design to uncover a set of rules
learning to play a piano is not very incredible, composing a piece is a lot harder if you have are after the same quality of the pieces you used to play and like. Currently you seem to be inbetween, playing with the things you like but having problems when it comes to improvisation.
i think your biggest problems are layout and typography, there are plenty of books on that.
some people stay a player for their entire career some become composers, some compose without being able to play
i'm making little sense today
