I can go over guidelines in GDI at some point. They are relatively simple. You just have to think like you are in photoshop when you are programming with GDI. Knowing tricks to set clips and get drawing on only the parts you want, getting the colors right, effects, animation.

A button is probably the easiest. Make a rectangular button (no rounded corners) and play around with just the background color, then try to make borders, then maybe try to make a gradient with a LinearGradientBrush, and go from there... If you try fooling around with the code I have in some of my buttons you should have a good idea of how things work.
