Are you designing software or websites? If it's software, I don't know, I'm not a software designer. I can, however, tell you a few things about the web. When you design a website, coding or graphics, it's to explore your creative side. Do whatever you feel looks nice. As long as the code is clean and is up to standards with the W3C, then you don't have much of a problem.

Wow, sounds like you have quite the dilemma. Okay, first things first when you download brush packs just click and drag them into the Presets->Brushes file in your Photoshop Application folder. Once they are in there you can load the brush set from the brushes window via the tiny triangle with three horizontal lines next to it. It will ask you to replace or append, I usually choose append which means the brushes will get added to the set you already have loaded. If they still don't wor the file might be corrupt.

If you are creating a new brush using the {edit-> define brush preset} function, you have to save the brush presets as a new brush group before closing out of photoshop or you could lose it.

Hope this helped :-/
