Hi
In my opinion i think you'd better know the board size contraint first.Then, think about what kind of the design level is up to example analogue design,digital design,mixed signal design or even high speed design.This is a very important key before come out with your layout design coz it'll affect ur overall performance of the board.If ur design require special attention on mounting always remember the hole size and slots coz this can cost ur time and money.Good luck.

There are at least 7 softwares you can use, but i think the best way is not teaching by youself, try to find a PCB factory engineering group , after 3 month you will understand basics of drawing PCB.
