T-Shirt Design Showdown Dall-E-3 Vs Ideogram AI: The Ultimate AI Art Challenge

About this video

RJ Martinez compares DALL-E 3 (inside ChatGPT Plus, using GPT-4 with the DALL-E 3 beta checked) against Ideogram AI for t-shirt design, running the same prompts through both. The first test is a red lollipop vector design with the text ‘do you want to lick this?’ — DALL-E 3 gets the wording close but with a misspelling he says you could fix in Photopea or by regenerating, while Ideogram, which he notes is free at the moment, returns several usable variants and shows other people’s creations for inspiration. He then reuses DALL-E 3’s own expanded prompt wording in Ideogram, uses Merch Informer product search for a frog theme (finding sayings like ‘best frog dad ever’), and generates a ‘frog dad’ design. He uploads a design back into ChatGPT and asks what it thinks and how to make it better, getting feedback on typography and placement, color contrast, detailing, background, and composition. He upscales/vectorizes with vectorizer.ai, comparing blurry original lines to cleaner results and downloading as PNG (noting SVG, EPS, PDF, and DXF as other options), then removes backgrounds in Photopea and Canva — Canva’s remover cut into the frog’s eye, while Photopea did a better job on that image. His verdict: both do a really good job on text, but DALL-E 3 is a step higher on layout, line work, shadows, and typography, and he wants to compare it with Midjourney next. He also mentions Amazon Merch on Demand took about three months for his own approval and claims it has generated him thousands of dollars every month.

Key takeaways

• Run the same prompt in both tools: DALL-E 3 impressed him more on layout, line work, shadows, and typography, while Ideogram is free at the moment and surfaces other creators’ work for inspiration
• Steal prompt wording across tools — copy DALL-E 3’s expanded prompt description into Ideogram (and vice versa) to improve results
• Use Merch Informer product search (e.g. searching ‘frog’) to find proven sayings like ‘best frog dad ever’ before prompting
• Upload a finished design into ChatGPT and ask how to make it better to get structured feedback on typography, contrast, detailing, and composition
• Finish the workflow by vectorizing/upscaling, then removing the background — Photopea handled his frog design better than Canva, whose remover cut into the frog’s eye
