I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?

I would recommend making the plans yourself so it can be exactly what you want. You can learn CAD like some others have mentioned, but pencil and paper is just as good for keeping track of dimensions.
If your feeling adventurous and are careful enough, a bed is something you could probably build entirely without plans. They aren't much more than a glorified box with two big ends and some little legs underneath. And, unless you make it out of tissue paper and twigs, your not likely to run into major structural concerns.
Actually quite handy with CAD, but more in the "can plan out a city block" and not so much "fine woodworking"
I'll likely go the DIY plans way though
