Ideogram’s text handling is really aimed at graphic design. Other platforms generate posters, and the moment you put a headline on it, it turns into a mess of scribbles. But Ideogram at least lays out an English slogan neatly, with proper font weight and spacing that actually looks decent.
But don’t get too excited, poster enthusiasts—long Chinese sentences still mess up, and complex layouts still need finishing touches in PS. It’s more like saving you the step of picking fonts and arranging the main headline, not a one-click final product. It’s pretty sweet as a tool for inspiration drafts and quick client pitches.
Yeah, the English slogans actually look legit. I used it to generate a few main visuals for events, and the font weight is way more stable than MJ.
Long prompts just fall apart. Works fine under 4 characters, but anything longer and it starts scribbling nonsense.
The real time-saver is skipping the step of finding fonts and laying out big titles. That’s a fair point—when it comes to complex layouts, I still can’t get AI to nail it, so I end up finishing in Photoshop anyway.
OP’s got the ultimate client-pleasing tool: client wants 3 directions, 6 images in 10 minutes, who’s got time for details?
Honestly, I feel like its layout aesthetic leans more towards European/American posters. If you try to use it for those super dense, cluttered Chinese promo graphics, it just doesn’t fit at all.
