Design a print-ready flyer, final trim size 8.5" × 11", portrait orientation, aspect ratio 17:22.
Output at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Final artwork with bleed should be 8.75" × 11.25" (2,625 × 3,375 pixels). Add 0.125" of bleed on all four sides and keep all text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim edge.

HEADLINE: "[Your main message]"
DETAILS: [date, time, location, price, offer — 3–5 short lines]
CALL TO ACTION: "[Call now / Scan to order / RSVP at…]"
CONTACT: [phone], [website], [social handle]
STYLE: [bold & modern / clean & elegant / urban & edgy / playful]. Brand colors: [color 1], [color 2], [accent]. Fonts: [bold sans-serif headline, clean body text].
IMAGERY: [describe the photo or illustration you want, or say "no photos, typographic design only"]

RULES: Use large, legible fonts and strong contrast; no tiny text; no lorem ipsum or placeholder text; no watermarks; spell every word exactly as written above; flat print-safe colors (no neon or glowing RGB effects); clean edges; solid background that extends fully into the bleed area.

Design tips for this size

  • Lead with one big headline — it should be readable at arm’s length before anything else.
  • Keep the important stuff (date, price, phone, website, QR code) inside the safe zone.
  • Want a back side? Run the prompt again and ask for a matching back with the details, map or menu.

Tool settings

  • ChatGPT / DALL·E: Paste the prompt as-is. Image output is limited to about 1024–1536 px, so pick the portrait option and then upscale (see step 3).
  • Midjourney: Add --ar 17:22 to the end of the prompt and use --q 2. Upscale the result you like.
  • Canva (Magic Design / Magic Media): Create a custom-size design at 8.75″ × 11.25″, paste the prompt into Magic Media, then download as PDF Print with CMYK and crop marks & bleed checked.
  • Adobe Firefly / Express: Choose the portrait aspect ratio closest to 17:22, generate, then open in Express at 8.75″ × 11.25″ @ 300 ppi and export as print PDF.

From AI image to print-ready file

  1. Generate 3–4 versions and pick the one with the cleanest text. AI still misspells words — read every line.
  2. Fix the text if needed by dropping the image into Canva or Photoshop and retyping headlines over it.
  3. Upscale to at least 2,625 × 3,375 px using Canva’s upscaler, Topaz Gigapixel, Upscayl (free) or Photoshop’s Super Resolution.
  4. Set the document to 8.75″ × 11.25″ at 300 DPI, convert to CMYK, and export a flattened PDF.
  5. Upload & order on the flyer page, or send it for a quote. Not sure about your file? Send it anyway — we look at every file before it prints.
