So recently I did a video about AI and I mentioned that I’m not worried about AI because you can’t even do text very well. If you go to mid-journey and Leonardo and you type in a word it has like

Scrambled words. But not long after that I learned about this AI app called Ideogram and it does text really well. Surprisingly well…and I’ve shared it on one of my posts here on YouTube as well as Twitter and the work that it does is incredible and it’s just starting off and I’m sure it’s going to get better and better. So in this video I want to show you this AI app called Ideogram and what it does and how you can use it for print on demand. Let’s go!! Hey everyone, thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video we’re going to talk about a new uh text to image AI program application on the internet and that Is ideogram we’re gonna go there uh things keep changing keeps getting better for uh text to image I said this just a few weeks ago that it doesn’t do uh AI doesn’t do text to image well well I was Proven wrong very quickly there is an app now and I think it’s just going to keep getting better and better it’s not perfect but it’s um as far as text it’s Leaps and Bounds ahead of things like mid-journey and Leonardo if you’re looking to design text designs or typography designs There’s actually a thing on there where you click typography and it does it so I’ll show you all the different tips and tricks on there we’re going to actually do a prompt on there so I’ll show You exactly how it works it doesn’t take a lot of prompts on there to get something good I’m going to show you the Discord how to get there where you can ask questions I’m going to find out if we Can use this for commercial rights if we can use it for print on demand and I’m going to show you how to upscale this and use it and take away the background and all of that so all your questions Answered for this new app hopefully let’s go there now and I’ll show you where it is and what it does all right so first things first here we are ideogram.ai you can see at first it has we’d landed on trending but there’s different things on here recent trending following top we’re going to Go through all of that and there’s also different sizes so you can do Square you can do this I think 10 by 16 16 by 30 so you can see the tall portrait or the wide or you got the square right so any of Those and you can see right away like some of the trending ones have text on here right look at that text you can actually read it let’s get smashed life is beautiful and they’re not just the same Fonts that’s what’s really cool is like this is a rounded font this is a Sans serif font there’s a script font another script font we scroll down you can actually read these unlike some of the Times you put it on mid-journey or a Leonardo any of those you can’t actually read when they when you type in here so look at this keep calm and browse on it’s right here and here like It knows how to how to write all of these things it’s pretty cool sometimes it doesn’t get it all like oh maybe that’s a different language that could be a different language but you can see um it’s really cool okay so let’s use it I’m going to go back to the top Um let’s do well let’s do these things first so let’s see recent of course which just means um these are the ones that were just made a few seconds ago a minute ago trending uh the ones that people are voting up right and then following I’m not following anybody but you can You can go in there and follow people and then top I guess this is the the one with the most Hearts trending I guess has the most Hearts quickest I guess so um people are liking it quicker so not Necessarily the most but it is trending okay and then you can see different sizes this is where you’re gonna pick that and I think for print on demand we want the tall rectangle so I Would say this one 10 by 16 but the square would work as well I think you probably don’t want the long one or the wide one which is like you can see most people don’t do that one either so I’m Going to do the tall rectangle and then we’re gonna go to um just do typography and let’s just type something so we can do anything we want it can be very simple prompt like uh do your best and you don’t even have to type quotes around it or anything you can just say Do your best and maybe in a script font let’s see if do fancy script font boom okay let’s hit generate and let’s see what happens ah well you can see sometimes it doesn’t get it right so maybe I’m gonna do quotes Do your best let’s try that typography oh let’s do poster too uh motivational let’s do a motivational poster in a fancy script phone okay let’s try that ah okay so when you do poster it it puts in and these are this one is nice but it doesn’t look Like a do your best Okay um let’s try let’s not do poster let’s just do motivation you know sing and this one says poster so let’s take that out uh photo cinematic painting fashion no I think that’s Good okay kind of cool right all right uh let me show you some other things that I found so let’s go um let’s go find something and there’s also a remix just like there’s a remix on Leonardo Um we can do this so let’s find like that Cottage Adventure right let’s say we wanted something like this this person did it always does four this is the best one we can hit remix and it just copies the same prompt and it will do something similar so let’s try it Look at that pretty cool right and then you can change the text too so let’s say instead of cottage Adventure we let’s say outdoor Outdoor Adventure Outdoor font whoops all right let’s try that and you can see it’s not perfect so it didn’t do the r for here maybe it didn’t understand that So it’s still hit and miss but it’s still pretty good with the adventure let’s try something else um let’s do a back to school so let’s say a vector t-shirt let’s say a vector design with books and the words back to school Yeah I think illustration and typography let’s take that out and on a black background and let’s not do Square let’s see the top rectangle and see what this look at that pretty good right back to school again with some books and stuff so you don’t have to just do text It can do artwork with the text and you can find things that other people have done too let me show you you can see on here on my we have it saves all the things that you’ve done on here And you can look at some of the things that I did here this is my prom a simple Vector art design that says I love the fall it’s a fantasy script and the shape of a heart with colorful lead like look at that that’s pretty cool that f may be better um but There’s one that f is good and and so on so you just got to keep playing with it um this one in October we wear pink look at that that’s pretty cool right and and then let’s see Another one oh this is the one that I shared the trick or treat so these are all the different trick or treats ones that came in right so they’ll all be saved here and you can remix your own stuff And you can do different things like that so okay so I think we went through all of these you can use any of these you can scroll down through these so next thing I want to show you is the Discord and I’m gonna have to remove myself here and this is where you find the Discord so you go here and then Discord and I’ll bring myself back I’ll accept ideogram all right so you can see I’m in the Discord here and one thing we can search on here is for commercial Let’s see if anybody talked about commercial licensing I asked the question here but if we jumped down here this person asked it or got an answer here and says basically however users should carefully consider and determine whether they wish to utilize output images for commercial Purposes and what permissions they have from third parties in order to do so and they’re going to update their TOS so basically this person was asking if you could use it and this person Answered it and says yes but you just have to be careful where you use it and I think that’s for everything some some places don’t want you to use AI art and so they they just don’t want you to get In trouble with that they’re not just they’re saying that you can use it but they’re not the ones in charge of the places that you’re going to use it at right so that’s this look forward To more terms of service as far as commercial use on there you can keep checking on here but this is pretty recent this was today this morning at 9 45 that this person answered it all right so Now we know how to use it what kind of prompts to use of course you can follow all the prompts that are on here so if you like this you can use like learn from this prompt right here uh if you like You know something else like you see like this one’s pretty cool it I think this could really work uh on a T-shirt and so on okay so let’s go to one of my things that I like here and let’s see How to download this and use it for a t-shirt removing the background so I’m going to use um let’s just use that trick or treat one I’m gonna go here and this is where you can Download it just use this icon and now it’s going to download it to my site so it’s going to download it it’s 1024 by 1024 so it’s not as big as it needs to be so we’re going to upscale It with vectorizer AI since this is a Victor and you can see this one just typed in trick or treat typography in fact I didn’t type in typography I clicked that typography all I did was trick or treat so um sometimes you can use very simple prompts and sometimes you need Some longer prompts all right so here I am on vectorizer AI and another AI app on the internet I’m gonna just drag in that one that I did here the trick or treat and it’s going to process it and there you go looks like that and then I’m going to download this And just hit download boom so I wanted to show you another free resource online on the internet and this is called figma.com so we’re going to use figma as our graphic design app where we can Go in here and remove all the colors from the SVG so first we’re going to need to make a artboard or frame or just go here see that frame and we’re going to drag it and then we’re just going to go Here to width 4500 tab 5400 right all right so let’s zoom out now since we’re bigger okay so this Frame here 4500 by 5400 good so we’re going to drag in the SVG now that we did with ideogram There you go and we’re gonna size it up so it’s a vector file it’s fine that we size it up we’re just going to make sure that it’s the size that we want in the T-shirt size right so you can see Right there and we can Center it and so on now we can actually go on here and select the different spots you can see everything here is a vector on this side and we can actually delete those things So we can come in here and delete any color that we want on here so let’s double click on there delete that double click on there and so on right if we don’t want these and we want these to show Through we can right and just go through on here delete all the holes here it doesn’t take too long and you can delete anything else and you can also draw on here so if you wanted to change the color as well so I can come on here and I can go Fill and I think my eyedropper is under here let me move this yeah there it is can click on my eyedropper click this color and then you can see it changed to that color All right so very easy very easy to learn and use I could do a tutorial on this if you want to but just for time’s sake we’re going to go here and we’re going to export this so we click on Frame exports right here at the bottom I’m going to click that and move my face again and I’m going to export frame one this whole thing as a PNG it’s transparent because we move the background right there’s no background on here so let’s do that Export frame one boom it’s saving it to my downloads now let’s just check if it did it right so I’m going to go there nope it didn’t do it right you can see there’s a white background so You don’t want a white background You Want TO gray so let’s check back on frame and I think automatically it added the FFF the white here so I’m gonna do that show an exports no oh you can Actually check that and say show and Export so let’s go back I’m going to do undo’s command Z and just leave it white but you say show and exports I’m going to uncheck it there we go let’s See if that works so let’s export this again go in here export you can actually do a preview too so there you go if I did the preview I would have seen that it’s actually knocked out so very cool Yeah so that’s how easy it is to use ideogram vectorizer Ai and figma all free and you can do as many of these as you want so there you go everything you needed to know about this new app Called ideogram you can watch this again and kind of go through it again if you see something there you can remix it or if you want to learn from their prompts you can see the prompts already There again it’s not perfect some of the letters don’t turn out great every time but at least you can read it now and so a lot of times it does work and a lot of times it does I think that’s Just with AI as it learns and it learns and it gets better it’s just going to get better over time so hopefully this is this tutorial is really helpful for you you can see that they’re going to Update their terms of service to talk about more clearly if we can use this for commercial use and you can see how easy it is to download scale it with SVG and use it in figma and other apps like That to remove the color of the background so that you can use it as a transparent PNG so again hopefully this video is really helpful for you if you want to see another video on what to design for how to find that right Niche I put this video right here I made recently Um you can see that now that you know that you can use this app the next step is to actually know what to design and what kinds of prompts to use so hopefully that’s helpful too thanks again For watching and as always guys keep creating and keep learning I’ll see you on the next one bye

Full Ideogram.ai Tutorial for Print on Demand
Check out Ideogram here… https://ideogram.ai/
Great video as usual….Can you please teach us step by step how to use Figma or Inkscape, I found it 's so difficult to work on these programms. Thanks in advance
Great tutorial, no bells or whistles just as it is .
Thanks Juna! Always cool! Too bad this Ideogram is not totally ok for POD :/
A full Figma tutorial would be really helpful , btw love your videos …..
This looks great, Will try it out
Very helpful video. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.

This is the first video I've watched of yours and it seemed like it was going to be a real game changer… until you started showing how to alter the separate colors in Figma. Totally lost me. So now I'm stuck. Looked on YT for a tutorial that could address the issue but nothing showed up. Maybe you could go into a little more detail. I'm sure I'm not the only one that got lost.
Hey Juna thanks for another great Video. I would love to see a Video about Figma and whats possible using Figma. Thanks again.
Amazing… Simply Amazing… Thanks a lot for this video…👍👍👍
In the terms of use don't allow it for commercial use!?
4:07 That’s what she said
I really like it
the output is still 80% garbage and the fonts are inconsistent in size, shape, color and shading. its still best to do a no text design in MJ and add copy to it through canva or kittl
Amazing video mate so much great info
Please do a full tutorial. I didn't quite catch how you removed the background.
hi , how do you sell these tshirt? i try to sell on teespring but no buyer yet for almost a year , how did you promoted it? i tried to use etsy but they banned my account and also i havent filled anything yet , so i dont know how to get back my account
Right now, this stuff can’t be used commercially AND it’s all public so anyone could come along and take what you make. Maybe it would be useful to people if that weren’t the case. It certainly does text better than most other AI programs. I guess when it comes out of beta and starts charging, it will be useable for commercial and allow private generation.
The pictures and fonts they train their AI with are done so without permission. They cannot make this commercial until they have sorted this out, which could be a very long time, long after another company has done this. Its fun to play with but but will never be useful for commercial use or someone will figure this out before they are. DO NOT USE THIS FOR PRINT ON DEMAND
Fantastic! Very clear! Thanks!
There are no commercials terms for ideogram. You are giving HORRIBLE advise
you can't use ideogram for print-on-demand
Do you think it is possible to use it for commercial purposes? Only personal use is permitted
Can I upload images to print on demand immediately or must we check the copyright of the image first?
