    You’ve done a good job of pulling out some of the pertinent information. A bit more detail would be good. You’re handing this off to a team of developers and designers – they don’t want to do any more research (that was your job) so you need to be precise about things like ‘bigger font’ – give an exact pt size (or a range).
