Put legible headline text on a poster with Ideogram V3
A layout-and-typography brief that leans on Ideogram's core differentiator — reliably rendering the exact text you specify instead of garbled placeholder glyphs — for a real promotional poster.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
A retro mid-century travel poster design, large bold headline text that reads "SUMMER SALE", smaller subtext below that reads "Up to 40% off, this weekend only", a stylized sun rising over minimalist wave shapes, color palette of burnt orange, cream, and teal, headline centered in the top two-thirds, subtext in a clean sans-serif band along the bottom

Why this works
Ideogram's headline strength relative to Midjourney, Flux, and Nano Banana is specifically legible in-image text — most diffusion image models historically mangle typography (extra or missing letters, warped glyphs, words that are almost-but-not-quite right), and Ideogram was trained with that specific failure mode as a target to fix. Putting the exact copy in quotation marks is the documented convention for telling Ideogram what should render verbatim, as distinct from everything else in the prompt, which it treats as scene and style description rather than text to draw. Keep the quoted copy short — a headline plus one short subtext line, not a paragraph — because even Ideogram's improved text engine degrades on longer strings.
What you get back
A poster where the specified headline and subtext render as legible, largely-correct text sitting inside a stylized illustrated background — spot-check the spelling before shipping, since verbatim accuracy is Ideogram's strength but isn't a 100% guarantee on every generation.
