So my friend is very new to the game and wants to make a red and blue deck any ideas and he started about two weeks ago
My recommendation would be to start with a Preconstructed deck, best from M12. Core sets are geared more towards introducting players to the game. Also, building a deck with few or no cards is very tough for new players. Mono red would be a good place to start, IMHO.
Blood and Fire or Mystical Might would be a good start.

Yeah I've told him that and he's got a good grasp of the game and likes it he just wants to make a r/u to be unique I've suggested mill and burn cards and he's just curious of other ideas other than the obvious
He can look at the Izzet guild from Ravnica block. R/U is mainly about control and burn. I like {Kiln Fiend} and cheap blue bounce for example.
{Burning Vengeance} decks are fun.
So I found {gelectrode} {shrewd hatchling} and {stream hopper}
{Gelectode} would be great in a flashback, {Burning Vengence} style deck!
Yes it does I'll let him know about it and I'm sure he will love it
Also, see if you can get your hands on some {Wee Dragonauts}.
Yup I've got a pretty long list for him Thanks blackjester
