Style and keywords

With the basic outline ready, it's time to add some style and keywords to make your image more interesting. Midjourney's AI is like a talented artist, able to create images in different styles like abstract, dream-like, or true-to-life. By choosing a style or adding relevant keywords, you can guide the AI to make an image that matches your vision. Play around with different styles and keywords, like mixing colors, to find the perfect combination for your desired result.

Examples: 

A city skyline at dusk in the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night::3, with vibrant colors::2 and swirling clouds::1.

A dreamy underwater scene::2 featuring a mermaid::1 playing a harp::1, surrounded by glowing jellyfish::2, in a surrealist style reminiscent of Salvador Dali.

A detailed medieval battle scene::3, with knights clad in shining armor::2 and dragons soaring overhead::1, inspired by the epic style of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

An abstract representation of a tranquil forest::3, with geometric shapes::2 forming trees and foliage, and a color palette inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's paintings::1.
 
Experiment with various styles and keywords to uncover the ideal combination that brings your artistic vision to life with Midjourney.

Master the art of aspect ratios

Imagine Midjourney as a skilled painter, ready to create images in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit your vision. Just as an artist stretches canvas over a frame, you can customize the aspect ratio of your generated image. Simply add a double dash followed by the perfect ratio code (e.g., –ar 16:9 for a scenic landscape) to the end of your prompt. It's like tailoring a suit; you'll ensure your masterpiece fits the dimensions you have in mind flawlessly.

Examples: 
 
A serene and peaceful scene of a girl reading a book under a blossoming cherry tree during springtime –ar 2:3

A breathtaking, Van Gogh-inspired starry night sky over a quaint, sleepy village nestled among rolling hills –ar 16:9

A vibrant, cubist-style portrait of a jazz musician playing a saxophone in the midst of an energetic performance –ar 1:1

A towering cyberpunk cityscape filled with neon lights, bustling streets, and futuristic skyscrapers, reminiscent of Blade Runner –ar 9:16
 
By simply adding a double dash followed by the perfect ratio code (e.g., –ar 16:9 for a scenic landscape) to the end of your prompt, you'll tailor your AI-generated artwork to the dimensions you desire.

Unleash your creativity with advanced settings

Picture Midjourney is a versatile tool kit, filled with advanced settings like seed, stylization, and chaos parameters that empower you to fine-tune your generated images. It's like having a magic wand that can conjure up the perfect blend of randomness, artistic flair, and image variation. Don't be afraid to mix and match these settings, experimenting with different values like a mad scientist, until you strike the perfect balance for your creative vision. Embrace the power and let your imagination run wild!

Unleash the power of Midjourney's customization by tweaking these captivating parameters to refine your image-generation process:

Seed: Take the reins of serendipity with the "–seed [NUMBER]" parameter, orchestrating the perfect harmony of your generated images for consistent masterpieces.

Stylization: Dial up or down the "–s" parameter to effortlessly glide between artistic styles, with a spectrum of values from 0 (subtle) to 1000 (dramatic).

Chaos: Embrace the element of surprise with the chaos parameter, crafting a mesmerizing mosaic of initial image grids using values between 0 (tame) and 100 (wild).

Dive into the world of Midjourney and orchestrate a symphony of stunning visuals by fine-tuning these parameters to your heart's content!

Examples: 

A tranquil Zen garden with a cherry blossom tree –seed 42 –s 200 –c 50

Vincent Van Gogh painting a futuristic cityscape –seed 24 –s 800 –c 10

Salvador Dali's take on a neon-lit cyberpunk alley –seed 99 –s 500 –c 70

A steampunk dragon soaring above a Victorian city –seed 7 –s 300 –c 30
 
Remember, these settings are merely guidelines. Feel free to tweak them to your liking and explore the limitless potential of Midjourney's advanced settings!

Spotlight your masterpiece with weights

Picture your image as a symphony, with every element playing its part to create a visual harmony. Sometimes, you'll want the soloist to take center stage. Enter the "::" notation - your conductor's baton - to assign weight ratios to different parts of your prompt, orchestrating the AI to magnify or dim specific elements, ensuring your visual magnum opus shines brilliantly.

Examples: 
 
[Eiffel Tower]::3 illuminated at night with [fireworks]::1

[A roaring lion]::2 in front of a [sunset]::1 on the African savanna

[Starry Night]::4 sky by Vincent Van Gogh combined with [The Persistence of Memory]::1 by Salvador Dalí
 
By using the "::" notation to adjust the weight of various elements in your prompt, you can turn the spotlight on the star of your visual symphony and create a breathtaking masterpiece.

Craving a little creative twist to your generated images? Remix mode is like having a magic paintbrush at your fingertips. It lets you dance between variations, blending and bending your prompt, all while using the composition of your starting image as a muse. With Remix mode, the only limit is your imagination!
