Hey guys, I want to learn how to design circuit boards. Where should I start?

any grade 9 science class will teach you the basics

then get one of these

I kinda meant the placing of components and stuff to make circuits. like how do you know when you have to put in a resistor or capacitor?

It will take a year or more to really start to understand electronics to where you can design it yourself.

Just copy schematics until stuff starts to make sense
