quick tips for beginners:

• always use pen and paper to sketch. it's faster this way.
• use a thick marker while sketching.
• after you are done, use this set to see the results in more realistic view.
• test, test, test. ask your friends if you have no budget.
• "text is the ui." use dummy text only in the very early stages.
• start designing with the smallest unit such as name field for a sign up form; or a blog item for blog site.
• don't fell in love with your design. be open to change.
