Make a sale poster with text in Ideogram: The Three Steps I Actually Use
A small, repeatable make a sale poster with text routine in Ideogram that pays back the time it takes to set up.
I had twenty minutes and a client breathing down my neck.
Start in Ideogram and do the smallest version of the task you can. renders readable words inside images, so the first pass is faster than doing it by hand.
Where it fell flat: Tighten the output before you trust it. The model gives you a draft, not a verdict, and the part that looks finished is usually the part you should read twice.
What I would tell a friend: Save the result as a reusable starting point. The second time you do this it should take a third of the time, because you are editing, not inventing.
The mistake I made: I treated the first result as final. the realism is weaker than Midjourney, so I now build in one review pass before anything ships.
It is in my toolkit now, next to the coffee.
