Design a scroll-stopping social carousel cover with a legible hook line in Ideogram V3

Why this works

A carousel cover lives or dies on one thing: whether the hook text is instantly readable at feed-thumbnail size, which is exactly the constraint most diffusion models fail at, since they treat short caption text as a texture to approximate rather than a string to reproduce. Ideogram's text-rendering training specifically targets short, high-contrast strings like headlines and pill-shaped labels, which is why this prompt keeps both quoted strings short and explicitly separates them by role — headline versus tag — rather than letting the model guess which text is more important. The instruction to leave generous negative space around the text is doing real work here too: Ideogram (like other text-capable models) still occasionally crops or overlaps glyphs when text sits too close to the frame edge or another element, and giving the composition room reduces that failure mode noticeably. Naming the exact platform aspect ratio matters because carousel covers get judged when scaled down to a two-inch-wide thumbnail in-feed, so a design that only reads well at full size is a design that fails in practice — this prompt asks for legibility at that shrunk scale directly instead of assuming it as a byproduct.
