Ideogram 4.0 Prompt Builder — Text, Logos & POD

Most Ideogram images fail on the letters, not the idea. Magic Prompt rewrites the headline. Design mode is left on Auto. The shirt reads as noise.

The AI Ideogram Prompt Builder is a Google Sheets tool for Ideogram 4.0. Fill 32 dropdowns. Get five outputs: a paste-ready prompt, a lettering-only text pass, a settings card, a JSON layout brief and a 5-image variation set. Built for quoted type, Design mode and Magic Prompt Off so the words stay readable on POD, logos, covers and stickers.

Is this only for print on demand?

Do I need Midjourney?
No. This builder is for Ideogram. Use the POD builder first if you want the design idea, then this one to render the words.
