## Text in Images
### Why Text Matters Most AI image generators produce garbled or incorrect text. Ideogram reliably renders: - Short phrases and titles - Brand names and logos - Poster text and signage - Book covers and album art - T-shirt designs and merchandise
### Tips for Accurate Text - Enclose desired text in quotation marks: A poster that says "Hello World" - Keep text short — 1-5 words works best - Specify text style: "bold sans-serif", "elegant cursive", "retro block letters" - Describe placement: "centered at the top", "along the bottom edge"
## Prompt Structure
``` A [format/medium] of [subject] with the text "[your text]" in [text style], [art style], [colors/mood] ```
Examples: - A vintage travel poster with the text "Visit Tokyo" in retro block lettering, art deco style, rich warm colors - A minimalist logo design with the text "Bloom" in elegant thin serif font, floral elements, pastel pink and green - A neon sign that says "Open Late" glowing against a dark brick wall, cyberpunk atmosphere
