The Most Profitable Keywords/Prompts in Ideogram AI For T Shirt Designs

About this video

The creator breaks down the prompt keywords he uses in Ideogram AI (and says he also tests DALL·E 3 with ChatGPT) for t-shirt designs, after a viewer said their images did not look like his. His listed keywords include ‘sticker illustration’ for an outlined sticker look, ’t-shirt design’ (noting it sometimes generates a shirt with the design on it, requiring tweaks), using different color backgrounds to make background removal easier, ‘2D flat illustration’, ‘vector’, and ’line drawing / line art’, which he says is useful for KDP coloring books or as a starting point to hand to an artist to finish. For text he uses ’text saying’ followed by the exact phrase in parentheses, keeping prompts simple and saving prompt templates in notes rather than spending 30-60 minutes on one prompt. He researches on Ideogram’s Explore page, opening prompts and creator profiles for inspiration, checking what keywords others use, and following good creators — while repeatedly warning not to copy or infringe, e.g. you cannot make King Kong or Garfield designs without rights. He shows using ChatGPT prompt GPTs/AIPRM to generate prompt ideas, Ideogram’s Magic Prompt to expand a prompt, and paid tool vectorizer.ai to upscale downloads. He also researches demand on Amazon using BSR/sales charts, citing selling examples like a frog peace-sign hippie shirt and Cinco de Mayo designs, and says AI designs can be sold on Amazon Merch on Demand, Redbubble, Etsy, TeePublic and Spreadshirt.

Key takeaways

• Core prompt keywords he lists: ‘sticker illustration’, ’t-shirt design’, contrasting background colors, ‘2D flat illustration’, ‘vector’, and ’line drawing / line art’ for coloring books.
• Add text with ’text saying’ plus the exact phrase, keep prompts simple, and save reusable prompt templates instead of crafting one long prompt from scratch.
• Research on Ideogram Explore: study other creators’ prompts and profiles for ideas and keywords, but do not copy designs or infringe characters/brands.
• Expect imperfect AI output — misspellings, bad fingers/eyes — and regenerate and edit; use Magic Prompt and tools like vectorizer.ai to refine and upscale.
• Validate ideas with Amazon BSR/sales data for what customers are actually buying (e.g. holiday designs), then sell on Merch by Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble and similar platforms.
