That was close intelligent and thoughtful. Visual acuity is not an accident! I wish I had a nickel for everytime I heard that one. There is a big difference between a formally trained graphic designer and a learn as you go. I watched the evolution of a graphic design foundation course over a period of 35 years. Graphic design as a separate discipline started in the fifty's. Note I'm not a graphic designer but was well taught on the fundamentals of what constitutes a good visual design and found that a good number of the principals work equally well when applied to electronic design. A little formal training does help immensely if you want to be a good graphic designer, there are lots of bad ones. Or find a good one and code up the end design. One more time Visual acuity is not an accident!
