Much like programming, it will come from experience. Practice a lot. You'll make a lot of things you aren't happy with, probably like your first bits of code :) Try to imitate things you like, and see the techniques they use to create cool designs. It, like anything else worth doing, will be easier with experience. The best way is to just do. See if you have any artistic friends that can give feedback on what you're creating. Try to identify what colors work well together(a site like colourlovers.com is nice for finding color schemes) and work with those.
