In this article, you’ll discover how to use ChatGPT and the new Ideogram Canvas to craft stunning visual hooks for your content in just four simple steps.

[Step 1] – Create prompt
Open ChatGPT and use the ‘Ideogram 2.0 Prompt Creator’ GPT.

Navigate to ChatGPT, go to ‘Explore GPTs,’ and search for ‘Ideogram prompts.’ You’ll find a list of available GPTs designed to help you generate prompts for Ideogram.


Now, Select the “Ideogram 2.0 Prompt Creator” GPT.

[Step 2] — Use this prompt template with the GPT

Once you’ve selected the GPT, use the following prompt:

“Please help me generate 5 Ideogram 2.0 prompts to create a unique, visually appealing, and attention-grabbing visual hook cover image for a [Usecase: social media ad, podcast thumbnail, brochure, blog post, etc.] on the topic of [TOPIC: e.g., How to Boost Engagement with Creative Visuals].”

This will provide you with five creative prompts to try in Ideogram. You can then choose the one that stands out the most and aligns with your vision.

Here’s an example:


[Step 3] — Copy the prompts into Ideogram and generate designs  

Now, go tohttps://ideogram.ai/canvas and paste the prompts generated by ChatGPT.Configure the Ideogram settings according to your preferences. Here’s a quick overview of what each setting means:

– Magic Prompt: ON — This feature automatically expands and enhances your input prompt with more descriptive details, helping to create richer, more visually appealing outputs. It makes your prompt “smarter” by adding vivid and expressive elements.

– Prompt — Describe what you want the AI to generate.

– Model — Choose the AI model for image generation. Use the latest 2.0 version for the best results.

– Style — Set the visual style, such as General, Realistic, Design, 3D, or Anime.

– Aspect Ratio — Define the height-to-width ratio. For example, select 1:1 for a 1024px x 1024px image.

– Seed — Control randomness for consistency; using the same seed will produce similar outputs.

– Negative Prompt — Specify any elements or features you don’t want included in the image.

Once everything is set, generate your designs! Here are the outcomes from the prompts I used on Ideogram to create a LinkedIn carousel cover for a post.

[Step 4] — Edit your designs in the new Ideogram Canvas  

After your design is generated, simply select it, click the ‘…’ button, and choose ‘Edit in Canvas’ to make any adjustments or enhancements to the image.”
