Flyer layout spec to build in your own design tool

Act as a senior graphic designer who teaches layout. I'm building a flyer myself in a design tool such as Canva, Figma, Affinity or InDesign. I want a written spec I can follow exactly, not an image. The words on the flyer: {{existing_copy}} The one action I want readers to take: {{call_to_action}} Brand colors: {{brand_colors}} Fonts I have: {{brand_fonts}} Assume 8.5 x 11 in portrait for print unless my words suggest otherwise. Give me: 1. Hierarchy: sort my words into levels 1, 2 and 3, quoting them exactly. Suggest cuts only as a separate list, never silently. 2. Document setup: page size, 0.125 in bleed, 0.375 in safe margin, 300 dpi images, CMYK for print, and a reminder to convert any AI-made images from RGB. 3. Grid: columns, gutter width, margins, and where the empty space goes. 4. A placement table: each element with its x and y position in inches from the top-left trim corner, its width and its alignment. 5. Type: font, weight, size in points, line height and letter spacing for each level. Two families at most; if my fonts don't suit, suggest free ones. 6. Color: hex and approximate CMYK for 2 to 3 colors plus a neutral, which element gets which, and a check that body text contrast is at least 4.5:1. 7. Imagery: one focal image, what it shows, how it's cropped and where it sits. 8. A pre-print checklist of 8 items, including spelling, phone numbers, QR codes tested on two phones, and nothing outside the safe margin. 9. The 5 most common mistakes people make building a flyer like this, and how to avoid each. Plain and specific: numbers, not adjectives. Ask me up to 2 questions first if the size or where it will be posted is unclear.
