Get an album cover with the artist name and title actually spelled correctly on it
A genre-and-mood album cover brief built around GPT Image's on-image text rendering, with an explicit letter-for-letter check on the artist name and title, plus a targeted-correction path for when a word comes back garbled instead of a full regenerate.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
ARTIST AND ALBUM TITLE TO RENDER Render this text directly on the cover, spelled and capitalized exactly as written — artist name "Marlowe Grey" and album title "Static Bloom". Treat these as fixed strings to reproduce letter-for-letter, not a rough approximation; re-check the rendered text against these two strings before treating the image as done. GENRE AND MOOD dream-pop / shoegaze, hazy and nostalgic, slightly overexposed like a sun-faded photograph CENTRAL IMAGE a lone figure standing in a field of oversized, slightly wilted paper flowers at dusk, back to camera TYPOGRAPHY STYLE a thin, slightly irregular serif for the title, small tracked-out caps for the artist name beneath it. Keep the artist name and title as the only text on the cover — no track listing, no label logo, no parental-advisory sticker, unless one of those was specifically asked for above. FORMAT Square, 1:1, no visible spine or back panel, front cover artwork only. TEXT PLACEMENT DISCIPLINE Reserve genuinely clear space for both text elements before any texture, smoke, particles, or background detail gets added there — the artist name and title need to sit on the calmest part of the composition, not the busiest, or the letters will fight the artwork behind them for legibility. IF THE TEXT COMES BACK MISSPELLED OR GARBLED This is a text-rendering slip, not a composition problem — treat it as a text-only correction, not a full regenerate: ask specifically to fix just the misrendered word or letters while keeping everything else in the image exactly as it is, the way you'd ask for one word fixed in a document rather than rewriting the whole page. OUTPUT One square album cover with both the artist name and album title rendered correctly and legibly, matching the genre and mood described above.

Why this works
GPT Image's most consequential change over earlier DALL·E generations is native, token-level text generation trained jointly with the image itself rather than a diffusion model with no real supervision on legible glyphs, which is why a short, exact artist-and-title string now renders correctly far more often — but "far more often" is not "always," especially on less common names or longer titles, so the brief asks for an explicit letter-for-letter self-check rather than assuming success. Reserving clear space for the text before any texture or particle effects is added addresses the same interaction problem seen in busy hero-image and product-shot briefs: a model rendering text into an already-detailed region has to fight the existing composition for visual priority, and the artwork usually wins that fight, leaving legible-but-cramped or partially obscured lettering. The targeted-correction instruction for a garbled word matters mechanically because a conversational edit in ChatGPT can condition on the specific image already in the thread and change only the flagged region, which preserves an otherwise-successful composition, lighting, and mood exactly as approved — asking for a full regenerate instead re-samples the entire scene from the text description again, which risks losing a composition that was already right in every way except one misrendered word.
What you get back
A hazy dusk-lit square cover showing a lone figure in a field of oversized paper flowers, with "Static Bloom" set in a thin irregular serif across the calm upper-sky portion of the frame and "Marlowe Grey" in small tracked caps beneath it, both legible and correctly spelled.
