Design , ever seen a weather app? or something like that? BEAUTIFUL! - help

Hi,

My question is , how can i bee good at graphics? i mean did you ever saw and weather app how fancy these things are and how animated they are? i think their really cool. Or any 2D game? Flappy Bird? candy crush?

How can i start or what programs are used? I learning photoshop and illustrator and adobe design but i find it hard to see these things made in photoshop or illustrator zoo fancy. I guess is like adobe after effects or something maybe?

Anyone know? it would be really appreciate .

I'm not a very good designer but I found the Design foundations and Aesthetic foundations courses to be helpful for understanding the basics as well as what makes a good design.

Photoshop and Illustrator are really good tools for designers but it can take a lot of time and practice to be really effective with them.

Hope this helps!

Sketch 3 is definitely a great place to start.
