Prompt formula
Design type + the exact text in quotes + layout + style + colours

Tips that make the biggest difference

  • Put the exact words in quotes. Write: poster with the title "MONSOON SALE" at the top. Anything outside quotes may be changed or misspelled.
  • Keep the text short. A headline of 2 to 5 words is reliable. For long text, generate the design without it and add the text in an editor.
  • Say where the text goes. "Title at the top, date in small letters at the bottom, big empty space in the middle" gives a cleaner layout.
  • Name colours and the font feel. "Bold rounded sans-serif, cream text on deep green" works better than "nice font".

Weak vs strong prompt

Weak

A Diwali sale poster.

Strong

Festive poster design. Title "DIWALI SALE" in bold gold serif letters at the top, "Up to 40% off" in smaller cream text below. Glowing clay diyas and marigold garlands along the bottom, deep maroon background, lots of empty space in the middle. Portrait 4:5.

Common mistakes

  • Paragraphs of text in the image
  • Text not in quotes
  • No layout, so the words land on the busiest part

Guide checked against the current Ideogram release in .

What Ideogram does differently

  • Exact words in quotes. Ideogram is built to render the words you put in quotes, which is why posters and logos start here rather than in a general image model.
  • Magic Prompt. Ideogram can rewrite your prompt with extra detail before it generates. Leave it on Auto when you want ideas; set it to Off when your wording is already exact.
  • Style reference. Upload images whose look you like and Ideogram applies that style to the new design, which keeps a series of posters consistent.

If Ideogram gets it wrong

  • A word is misspelled. Check the words are in quotes, shorten the line, and run it again. Fewer words means fewer mistakes.
  • It added things you never wrote. That is often Magic Prompt. Set it to Off and run the same prompt again.
  • The text lands on a busy area. Say where it goes and ask for space there: "title at the top over plain sky".
  • Each poster in a series looks different. Use the same style reference and the same style words in every prompt.
FAQ

Questions, answered

Ideogram or Midjourney for a poster?

Pick Ideogram when the words matter. Midjourney is strong on mood and texture but less reliable with spelled-out text.

How much text can I fit in an Ideogram image?

A headline and one short line are reliable. For paragraphs, make the design without them and add the text in an editor such as Canva.

Can I sell or print the designs?

That depends on Ideogram's terms and your plan. Check them on ideogram.ai before you print or sell anything.
