Start with detailed descriptions; include colours, composition, mood, and specific artistic references.
Use modifiers like 'high quality,' 'detailed,' 'award-winning,' '8k' to improve results.
Reference specific artists or art styles you like; 'in the style of [ARTIST]' produces more consistent results.
Take advantage of variation features; generate multiple options and upscale the best ones.
Keep a reference document of successful prompts; reuse and iterate on what works.
Why This Matters
Midjourney enables creators to generate stunning visuals without graphic design skills. However, prompt quality determines output quality. Effective prompts combine specific descriptions, artistic styles, and technical parameters. This guide teaches creators how to generate consistently excellent Midjourney images for content.
How to Do It
1
Effective Midjourney prompts include descriptions, artistic direction, technical settings, and refinement parameters. Understanding this structure dramatically improves output quality.
2
Specificity matters. Rather than 'beautiful landscape,' describe 'misty mountains at dawn with golden light, oil painting style, 8k resolution.' Detailed descriptions produce better results.
3
Referencing art movements and artists influences output style. Ask for 'digital art,' 'oil painting,' 'photography,' 'anime,' or specific artist styles to shape the aesthetic.
4
Create consistent visual branding by developing detailed character descriptions and visual style parameters. This ensures recognisable aesthetics across generated images.
5
Rarely is the first generation perfect. Use Midjourney's upscale and variation features strategically, and refine prompts based on what works.
Prompts to Try
Generate a prompt for a [CONTENT_TYPE] image featuring [SUBJECT]. Style: [STYLE]. Include specific details about lighting, colour palette, composition, and artistic medium. Aim for a [MOOD] feeling.
Create a character description for Midjourney that can generate consistent images of my brand avatar. Include physical appearance, clothing style, background setting, and artistic style.
Write a Midjourney prompt for a social media graphic about [TOPIC]. Include call-to-action text positioning, colour scheme, and artistic direction. Format: [PLATFORM_DIMENSIONS].

Very specific. Include subject, style, colours, composition, lighting, and mood. More detail produces more predictable, higher-quality results.
Usually 3-7 generations. Use variation features strategically to refine promising directions rather than starting completely fresh each time.
Next Steps
["Midjourney democratises visual creation for non-designers. By mastering prompt structure, using detailed descriptions, and iterating strategically, you generate branded, high-quality images faster than hiring designers.
