There are lots of designes. Pick one first.
In general you need LEDs and some form of current driver, for source or sink. As you get more LEDs in you will probbly use both.
Don't forget to include resistors, don't pick a design without them.

On Ebay theres a whole kit, Processor, PCB's, LED's A fixture to hold the LED's while soldering and a very complete set of instructions with great pictures too. The Fixture is for making 4 X 4 pieces and for soldering the pieces together to make a tier of 8X8 LED's... ETC, Etc, etc it uses rectangular blue LED's and the thing really looks nice. The Price is $99.00... FYI
