Ideogram prompts are especially useful when the visual depends on both imagery and readable text. To get better results, describe the visual concept, text content, typography role, composition and style as separate parts of the prompt.
Ideogram Prompt Structure
Use a predictable order: subject → exact text → placement → typography direction → background → color → style → constraints.
Create a vertical event poster with a dramatic portrait in the lower half. Exact headline text: “NIGHT SESSION”. Place the headline at the top in large condensed sans-serif type. Add a small date block below. Dark navy background, magenta accent light, modern music-poster style, high contrast, clean hierarchy, no extra words.
Working with Text
Keep text short and exact. Put the required wording in quotation marks and tell the model where it should appear. Long legal copy, paragraphs and detailed schedules are better typeset later in design software.
Control the Layout
- Specify orientation and aspect ratio.
- Define where the main subject sits.
- Reserve a clean text zone.
- State which element has highest visual priority.
- Limit the number of competing decorative elements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ideogram prompts different from other image prompts?
The same visual principles apply, but text placement and typography usually need more explicit instructions.
Should I generate all final text inside the image?
Short headlines can work well; detailed copy is safer to typeset manually afterward.
