Hi there,
This is such a broad question you may find difficulty getting a direct answer here on the forums. I would start by reading any of the many available articles on database design theory.

ex. http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020522.htm

And definitely acquire a book. There are many by Ken Henderson, Kalen Delaney, CJ Date, EF Codd, etc that you can find on the Net. Bookpool.com is a great resource for discount tech books.

Once you get up and running with your design you can post back here with specific questions / roadblocks. You will find that Sqlteam is an amazing resource to have.
