What are you looking to make a layout for?
Createblog profile, myspace, blogger, hi5, livejournal, xanga, etc?
First and foremost, that will need to be answered. =)
Then comes the graphics part of it, which you will need certain types of software for (as mentioned).
Do you have any image editing software like the ones mentioned (Photoshop or PSP)?
