    Qt Quick/QML is worth looking into as well.

    Well, apart from what has already been said, the only thing missing is a decent graphics design engineer.

    oh, that's a very general problem - how achieve a level of "being good in something".

    You need experience. Then you need some theory - read some books/articles/papers. Then you have to convert your knowloedge into practice. When you gained more experience, you read some more books/articles/papers and so on...

    If you want to do it right, then have a look at QStyle. There is a small example on how to write your own style: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/widgets-styles.html. Beside that simply have a look at the sources of QMotifStyle, QPlastiqueStyle etc.
