Take a look at http://www.oswd.org
There are plenty of open source designs to start your design from and I have found them quite easy to port to eZpublish.

No tutorial I'm afraid.
I might do one once I get DevPublisher up and running - that will be a little while though.

What I did to originally work out how to do it. Look at the pagelayout.tpl file in the design that you are using.

The most important bits I found to add to the pagelayout.tpl are:

{include uri="design:page_head.tpl"} - which you add just under your </head> tag and sorts out the title information amongst other things.

{menu name=TopMenu} - displays the top menu

{section show=ezini( 'Toolbar_top', 'Tool', 'toolbar.ini' )|count}
{tool_bar name=top view=line}
{/section} - shows the top toolbar

{section show=ezini( 'Toolbar_right', 'Tool', 'toolbar.ini' )|count}
{tool_bar name=right view=full}
{/section} - shows the right toolbar

Hope that helps you get started,

Tim
