When you create a database, you create it at a decent size. Then as you start loading data, you increase the tablespace and hence the database grows.
It all depends on how much data is loaded in the system after the creation and how much disk space you have or plan to get.

First off,you'll need to estimate the schema sizes(ie tables/indexes etc) from the data model and the size/growth requirements from the development team. Loading a good amount of sample data will let you project the size estimates for the database when its fully loaded or how it grows. You would then proceed to estimate other things like rollback segments/tablespace , temporary tablespace ,redolog files and other miscellenous stuff based on transcation patterns/volume /requirements.
The same thing goes for sizing the instance..
Chances are that you wont get it right in the 1st attempt becos of the approximations and incomplete requirements.Once you get a better handle on things as the project goes on,you'll be able to tweak/resize things and make them better..
