In any case we had to get a design guy, even novice guys cost bomb, So I thought it was better spend a few weeks and learn.

I understand that. But which one is better : 8 weeks to learn how to play with photoshop, or 8 weeks to learn about your market and users?

If you end up with an app that is marketable and users will respect, the 8 weeks is probably worth it.

Besides, it's a skill that keeps giving. Now he cans spend the next week both writing and designing his next app instead of getting stuck with an ugly app and no designer.
