Shaun F's answer will not work if Schema doesn't exist in the DB. If anyone is looking for way to create schema then just execute following script to create schema.

create schema [schema_name]
CREATE TABLE [schema_name].[table_name](
 ...
) ON [PRIMARY]

While adding new table, go to table design mode and press F4 to open property Window and select the schema from dropdown. Default is dbo.

You can also change the schema of the current Table using Property window.
