Creating Retro Groovy T-Shirts with IDEOGRAM 2A AI Made Easy

I was playing around in Ideogram creating retro groovy style designs and I thought I’d share them so you can do whatever you want with them. I’ve put them on my public profile. You’ll find lots of prompts you can adjust and change. You might have to scroll because I have a lot of different designs for lots of different things, but I’ve added these too and they look really good.

I’ll also show how to quickly edit these so you can get fresh designs for your own needs. I have a 100 idog quote graphic t-shirt prompts freebie with lots of different niches.

Ideogram AI T-Shirt Design: How I Created These Designs With My GPT Prompt Generator

I used one of my new prompt generators inside Ideo Mastery. I was looking to see if I could find a design I liked and try to replicate that. I found a design, plugged it into my GPT, and asked for a design concept for a retro groovy style shirt.

With my prompt generator you can come up with niches, lots of different puns and quotes, then get design concepts around those quotes, and then ask for a prompt based on that design concept. For this, I wanted a single design concept I could base all future prompts on.

  • The generator gave me the design concept.
  • It told me about the typography, illustration, color scheme, background, and the overall mood and audience.

    I used this concept as a base for future prompts. First I wanted more quotes, so I asked for 10 quotes for this style and it gave me a bunch. I like to go deeper to make sure the quotes are very unique, so I asked for more similar to Retro Vibes and Timeless Dreams and to make them unique. I did the same for Stay Trippy Little Hippie and gathered a few more ideas.

    After that I started asking for design concepts in the style we discussed. For Groovy Like Nobody’s Watching it gave me the typography style, illustration ideas, color schemes, background, and the overall mood and audience. I could go back and forth asking for more illustration ideas or change up the style, but I was trying to replicate that style.

    After I had the design concept I asked for a prompt and it gave me a fully formatted prompt around that concept. This saved me a lot of time when creating designs in Ideogram.

    I did that for Retro Vibes and Timeless Dreams, then got the prompt. I did it for Peace, Love, and a Little Bit of Chaos, which turned out to be one of my favorites. I kept going, asking for design concepts and prompts, and changing things up to get different color combinations. These turned out really nice and I wanted to share them.

    Step-by-Step Editing Tutorial in Ideogram AI T-Shirt Design

    Editing these is simple:

    1) Open my public profile and find a design you like.
    2) Click the design, then click the little plus icon to add the prompt to your workspace.
    3) Add your own quote. For example, use Stay Groovy, Move Smoothly.
    4) Find every part of the prompt that contains the text for the design. In this example, update the words mapped to the text areas:
    – Replace the first part of the quote in the first text field.
    – Replace the second part of the quote in the next text field.
    – Remove any leftover placeholder words.
    5) Turn on Magic Prompt. It enhances your prompts and gives you variations.
    6) Use Model 2A, which is their latest version.
    7) Turn on Rendering Turbo because it uses half a credit.
    8) Set visibility if you want it public.
    9) Click Generate.

  • Background is black, contrasting with a warm vintage color pattern of deep teal, burnt orange, warm yellow, soft coral, and sage green.
