Default Garden layout

I just tilled my garden, the culmination of a long time of work, a little at
a time.

Now, I'm not sure as to how to lay it out. How far apart should the rows
be? Should I make level trenches so the water flows into the trenches and
goes into the plants, or make a tubing setup with emitters? The garden plot
is on a slant. I had thought making the rows along the horizontal plane so
the water just doesn't run downhill. Am going to put weed barrier all
around, and then cut in where I want to plant things.

Just not sure how to lay it out, keep enough space for walkways, and get it
half way right from the get go.

Help or sites appreciated.

TIA

Steve
