The best way to do it is try to design your layout with no water in, if your using live plants fill up the tank to about 2cm above the substrate to keep them hydrated whilst your working out your layout. Are you thinking of doing a display style tank? So that it follows an aquascape theme or just a quick easy layout?
I began with a quick easy layout but over time I changed to a jungle/nature style for my main tank.

When you've found a layout you like post it on here with photos, the best layout are designed with the help of others For some inspiration check out ADA Gallery

Best of luck, aquascaping new tanks is fun!

Remember not to put your main features in the middle; put them one third along; it makes the tank look more interesting and natural.

Also, plants usually look better in patches or groups of one type, rather than the 'one here, one there' approach.

And don't forget pics!
