What would you suggest is the best way to improve my design/graphic design skills? I am out of college and the last art class I had was in 7th grade. Just start drawing/painting things? Take a college art class or two or twenty? Buy a self-help book? I am horribly bad with art/design or anything involving graphics. I love the command line and my sites/icons/graphics look like crap, I'd like to work on that.

Thanks.

Take classes. Getting feedback, direction, and seeing what others are doing are important when you're starting out again. A variety of places will offer them; adult education classes at local universities, junior colleges, high schools, museums, galleries, community centers, etc.
