The Future is Here: Revolutionize Your Workflow with AI Text & Design (Ideogram AI)

About this video

Martinez demonstrates Ideogram.ai, an AI generator that can create a complete t-shirt design including legible text inside the image — a step beyond image-only generators, though he notes it still sometimes misspells words and will improve as it learns. He browses public Ideogram examples for Halloween, back-to-school, dragon/Chinese New Year, retro beach sunset, dog, pumpkin, photography and other niches, pointing out that prompts are shown below images and can be studied and adapted. He explains prompt craft: describe the design plainly as if telling a person, use commas to separate elements, put the exact wording in parentheses or after ‘with words’, specify style such as vector t-shirt design, cartoon style, vintage or retro sunset colors, and use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity to help write prompts. He warns trademark and copyright rules still apply despite AI generation. He then walks through a production workflow: save the 1024x1024 image, remove the background in Photopea (Magic Cut / remove background) or with Canva’s paid BG Remover, vectorize it for free with vectorize.ai to get a crisp editable SVG, and open it in Photopea to move elements or add text, explaining that AI should do the heavy lifting while the seller does simple editing, especially at scale.

Key takeaways

• Ideogram.ai differs from earlier AI image tools because it can render text and graphics together as a complete t-shirt design, though spelling errors still occur.
• Study the public prompts under Ideogram images for ideas and structure, then adapt them to your own niche rather than copying trademarked or copyrighted designs.
• Write prompts plainly, separate elements with commas, put exact phrases in parentheses or after ‘with words’, and specify vector style, colors and layout; other AI chat tools can help draft prompts.
• Production workflow shown: save the image, remove the background in Photopea or Canva BG Remover, then vectorize with vectorize.ai to get a crisp, editable SVG.
• Let AI do the heavy lifting and keep human work to simple editing, which he presents as the way graphic designers and print-on-demand sellers can produce many designs per month.
