First thing I would do would be to search the forums or use Google to search them to find information on “different pages for categories” or “different style for categories”. I did that for you and found –
I’d start with this thread http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic.php?id=25522 which is a “lesson” in styling The WordPress Loop and contains an example of how to customize categories. Then I’d go through the following:

http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic.php?id=22567
These all list extensive detail on how to do this, since this is a frequently asked question. When you get down to the brass tacks, we can help with any specific problems you are having implementing these. Good luck.
Thanks, Lorelle for taking your time to help me out.
next time i will do what you said…
You can always ask here, I’m not saying don’t. It’s just that this is one of the hottest topics around here other than “what the heck am I doing”, so there is a lot of information out there.
And promise that you will share any new found knowledge learned from the process with others, okay!
so lorelle have you made any headway on getting this to work?
im going to start cracking on it today.
i want to have a top header image that will always be the same, then an image under it that it category specific then also have the sidebar menu category specific.
if i get it working im definetly going to do a formal write up for people to see.
We’ll be waiting with baited breath….
