My design so far:

Try looking at photos of other Spartan suits to help get an idea of what u want

play through the game you want your design from and look ate some of the other avatars backs. When there is a lull in the killing of Covies

Don't own an xbox, PS4 (can't afford), and don't have space on my computer. Is watching videos OK?

I think the biggest thing you're going to have to do is hunt down 360 models and renders or research designs based on the source content you want to use. Depending which game you're looking to go for with the back then that's how you're going to have to design and study. It's something you have to do for any design. I mostly do a lot of original artwork and outfit design but I may have to do this for my OC Spartan armour when the time comes though I'll likely cheat and just do a repaint of the mark IV(?) armour with some minor mods aesthetically to match my character and her persona.

That's really up to you. Are you going for an original concept or are you trying to build something that's accurate to the Halo universe?

Most people you find here on the 405th will be building as close to canon as possible with personal touches and modifications added in as they see fit. From your posts in this thread it sounds like you're asking permission to piece together reference materials and make an original design. You do you, let your creativity run wild and see what cool design comes out.
