You can become a good designer through education and experience. But to be great at anything, that takes a lot more than those two things alone. It's a matter of insight, sensitivity, intelligence and to a large degree, how you were raised — the way the world around you at a young age affected you, your views and understanding towards the way that the world and it's inhabitants truly 'work'.
Many good designers today have just been good at understanding things like — what makes design A. better than design B. They become selectors, knowing which samples and inspiration are most relevant to the project and can be taken from and more importantly, what should be left out. That in-itself comes from experience and moderate intelligence. Almost any of us with passion and desire can reach that level..
But to be great, to be a visionary, to see what everyone else has seen and think what no one else has thought, that comes from somewhere within and cannot be taught nor learned...
