It comes from your sense of how good things should look like. Just keep the controls simple and aligned. Don't use bogus colors and don't make it loaded with useless stuff and you are good to go.
Ask House. He is pro with GUI's
There's various ways to go about it, but as Hassan said it will really be influenced by your own styles. You can download custom components (Krypton, DotNetBar, Telerik Radcontrols...etc) or you can use GDI to an extent to create your own form. Another option is photoshop. The world is your oyster.
@freedompeace, lol you forgot to set the formborderstyle to none and have a gigantic X button, a visible webbrowser and most importantly, your name splashed over half the application.

You don't download GDI+, it's part of VB.NET lol.
The 'Graphics' object is a prime example of GDI in action.

Oh, wow, i shoulda know that...
Not really advance though...
Yeah, I can help. Place green text on a red background and make sure that your controls look like abstract art - they never align up and are all of different sizes =P
Lastly, make sure, make sure that you put a really childish and "gangster" photoshop background as your form's background.
