Wing design is very complex. Folks make careers out of doing it. I'd suggest getting a copy of a spreadsheet written by John Hazel called something like Liftroll. It's a good way to play with the basic aspects and make reasonable choices of span, twist and chord. The basic principles are consistent local Cl's across the span with an elliptical distribution of lift across the span to minimize induced drag.
If you can't find John's spreadsheet, I can forward either the simpler earlier version or a more involved later version. If I can figure out how, I could just put it on my website.
