Don't conflate ability to operate a piece of software with ability to do graphical design. (I have no problem with the former but am lousy at the latter. :)
Join the club. I've operated and built ray tracers, fractal generators and so forth, but when I want to actually draw something, I always end up staring at a blank screen thinking "hmm, what might be cool?" I have no idea how the professionals do this. Try drawing a cube and writing on it "cornflakes". It looks rubbish, right? Now go to any shop that sells cornflakes... all the boxes look amazing, right? How the **** do they do that??
