Ideogram 4.5

Put the words in quotes and say how they are set. Ideogram 4.5 draws the poster, the logo or the label around them, from one line and nothing else.

Same words, three settings

Say how the words are set.

Condensed: the title in condensed capitals
The setting

The prompt names the words in quotes and the setting in plain words; only that phrase changed between the three. Ideogram drew each poster from the line alone, no reference photos.

Ideogram in the Studio

  1. 01

    The words, spelled

    Ideogram describes 4.5 as strong at rendering text accurately. Put the words in quotes and they come back as letters on a poster, a label, a sign.

  2. 02

    Say how they are set

    Condensed capitals, a serif italic, a brush script: name the setting in plain words and the layout follows it. The three Lisbon posters changed only that phrase.

  3. 03

    Graphic, not photographic

    Posters, logos, packaging, flyers, covers and neon: Ideogram's own pitch for the model, and the work it is in the picker for.

  4. 04

    Prompt expansion on

    Ideogram's own expansion fills out a short prompt before it draws. The studio leaves it on, so one line can be enough; quote the words that must not change.

  5. 05

    Five named shapes

    Square, portrait 3:4, landscape 4:3, portrait 9:16 and landscape 16:9. The composer's ten frames fold onto the nearest one.

  6. 06

    One price a still

    Drawn at Ideogram's medium quality and priced per image, whatever the shape. The picker shows the credits per still before you send.

  7. 07

    From the line alone

    Ideogram draws from text only here: no reference photos are sent, and the result says so. For a product's own label, use a model that takes references.

  8. 08

    On the wall, under its model

    Every poster lands on your Assets wall with its prompt, to view, star, sort into folders and download.

  9. 09

    Make it an element, then shoot it

    Make element turns a poster into a prop a scene is held to: the flyer on the wall, the label on the bottle, the sign over the door.
