The quick read
- Specify the relationship between lettering, illustration and negative space.
- Check spelling, punctuation, repeated letters and small text at full size and in the final placement.
Keep the message brief
Ideogram’s product positioning includes text within generated imagery. Start with a small amount of exact wording and explain which words should dominate. A short event title is easier to assess than a dense paragraph embedded in a scene.
Describe the composition
Specify the relationship between lettering, illustration and negative space. For an illustrative poster, keep the date and location separate from decorative text. Decide whether the output is a concept to develop further or a final asset requiring precise production typography.
Inspect every character
Check spelling, punctuation, repeated letters and small text at full size and in the final placement. Verify that the generated image does not add words or alter the intended meaning. Consult current controls and usage terms before planning the workflow. Even a tool designed for lettering benefits from human proofreading. The creative advantage is faster exploration of how words and imagery can work together, with final accuracy treated as its own requirement.
