Trouble with many commercial designs is that "design" outweighs
communication. So many graphic designers focus on "what looks nice"
rather than "what works to promote the purpose of the document".
Granted, that's at best a failure in the training of such designers, but
it does constitute a warning that "best practise" isn't always "best
practise".

It's real easy to create an ugly design. It's real hard to create a beautiful
one - which is why there are folks called graphic designers. For those of us
who aren't (such as me), I've often found it useful to look for suitable
commercial designs and then emulate them. I don't mean copy, but extract the
underlying principles. Your eye will tell you what looks right and what look
weird.
