Logos & Graphics
Ideogram
The ideogram is a text to image model designed to create graphic, typography and branding. It stands out because of it can generate clean prfessional looking logos with accurate text integration.
Prompt Example
video production company
A modern minimalist logo for Anthony Gallo Productions, a high-end video production company. The design should be sleek and cinematic, featuring a stylized camera lens or film reel as an icon. The typography should be bold and elegant using a clean sans serif font. The color scheme should include deep blues, blacks, and metallic silver. The logo should be versatile for dark and light backgrounds with a professional and creative feel.
When you struggle with the prompt, you may ask ChatGPT for help
ChatGPT Prompt
Generate a detailed ideogram V3 prompt for a sleek and modern logo for a tech startup.
It then provides you a high quality prompt that has a lot of details that you can then tweak as you see fit.
An other way is to use a broad prompt and re-generate util you find something you like. If you then would like to do some changes on it you may use something that is called 'Reverse Engineer Prompting'. To do that you upload the logo to ChatGPT and use the following prompt:
ChatGPT Prompt
can you reverse engineer this logo and create an ideogram v2 prompt that would result in a similar final logo?
It can generate a prompt that is very close to it. This prompt can't generate the same output. But now you have a very detailed prompt that you can make changes to.
You may use Ideogram to generate a YouTube channel banner:
Banner for a YouTube channel
I need a channel banner for my youtube channel. The channel name is "The XYZ Podcast" - can you create something that is clean and professional for me? Ideally incorporate some sort of play button or camera icon in the design
Product Photography
Bria
The bria is good at creating product shots. You may upload an image of your product. Make sure that 'Ref Image Url' is empty or you upload a background image you would wish to use. If you don't have a specific background you may use a prompt like this:
Prompt
Place the product on a desk with other tech products scattered around it
Image Editing
Kontext
The kontext is using flux to edit/modify images that allows you to make selective edits while maintaining the kontext of the original image.
Prompt Example
On a group foto where someone has blinked (closed eyes). To fix this upload that image and use a prompt like this:
Open Eyes Prompt
fix this image by opening the blonde girls eyes
If you then want to make further changes, use the 'Use Output' button under the image and use a prompt like this
Remove Hat Prompt
Remove the hat from the guy all the way on the right
You may then do other edits using the 'Edit' button under the generated image. Or create a video from it by clicking on the 'Make Video' button and then use a prompt like this:
Video Prompt
The group smiles at the camera
Another example is a mug with an engraved fish that you would like to replace with a duck.
Replace Prompt
change the image of the fish on the mug to a duck
Upscale Image
Clarity Upscaler
The clarity-upscaler to increase resolution of an image. It is an alternative to magnific (payed subscription service).
LoRA
LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) is a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) technique that allows developers to customize large pre-trained models for specific tasks without retraining the entire model.
Flux LoRA Portrait Trainer
The flux lora portrait trainer is used to train the model by uploading images of a person, animal or object. Make sure that you use quality images (in focus not blured) with different perspectives and different facial expressions (smile, angry, thinking, surprised etc). After this you may use flux lora to generate new images (may be you would like to increase 'Num Inference Steps' from 28 to 40, if you don't like the result you may increase the 'Scale' form 1 to 1.2).
