Have you ever felt frustrated with Midjourney? Maybe you spent ages crafting one long prompt, trying to get everything perfect, only for the results to fall short. It's a common problem. Many feel like they're fighting the AI instead of creating with it.
What if there was a better way? A method that treats image creation like building something piece by piece, just like a professional designer? This approach can make your design process faster and lead to results you'll love.
Let's explore this technique by designing a graphic for a Texas Jeep Club. We'll break down the process into simple steps.
Build Your Design in Pieces
Instead of cramming every detail into one massive prompt, try creating your design elements separately using Midjourney. You'll create a few pieces and then put them together later in a design program like Photoshop or similar tools. This gives you more control over each part and makes it easier to get the look you want.
This modular workflow is used by skilled creators to finish projects quickly and get consistent results.
Dealing with multiple prompts and ensuring consistency can still take time. For a more efficient workflow, explore the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT, designed to help streamline your creative process.
Start with a Quick Sketch
Every strong design starts with a clear idea. Before you even open Midjourney, do a simple thumbnail sketch. This helps you define what you need. For our Texas Jeep graphic, we need three main things:
A cool Jeep
A fun armadillo mascot
A Texas background scene
Knowing what you want upfront makes it easier to create the specific prompts that will get you there. Remember, other design elements like text or logos can be added in your design program later.
Creating the Jeep Element
Now, let's create the Jeep. We'll use a focused prompt instead of a complex one. Here’s a simple structure to follow:
Subject: Describe the main thing (e.g., "2025 Jeep Wrangler")
Modifiers: Add details about the subject (e.g., "3/4 view low angle red heavily modified large tires light bar")
Art Style: Describe the overall look (e.g., "Graphic illustration vignette")
Context: Where is it? (e.g., "Texas back country")
Details: Specific style notes (e.g., "bold outlines isolated flat white background")
Parameters: Midjourney settings (e.g., --chaos 10 --ar 4:3 --sref 976633098 --sw 80 --repeat 4)
Midjourney works best when you are specific about what you want for each element. We used `--chaos 10` for variety, `--ar 4:3` for the shape, `--sref` and `--sw` to influence the art style, and `--repeat 4` to get more options (16 images total from Midjourney's default grid).
Look at the results. Pick the image that fits your vision best. If needed, you can upscale it to use in your design program later.
Adding the Armadillo Mascot
Next, we need our armadillo mascot. The key here is making sure it matches the style of the Jeep we just created. This is where the `--seed` parameter is very helpful. A seed number is like a starting point for the AI. Using the same seed number for different prompts helps them have a similar look and feel.
Here's the prompt we'll use for the armadillo, building on our structure:
Subject: "cute mascot armadillo"
Modifiers: "wearing a cowboy hat playing the guitar"
Art Style: "Graphic illustration vignette" (Same as Jeep)
Details: "bold outlines isolated flat white background" (Same as Jeep)
Parameters: Use all parameters from the Jeep prompt (--chaos, --ar, --sref, --sw, --repeat) AND add the seed number from the Jeep image you chose (--seed [your_jeep_seed_number]).
To get the seed number, find the image you liked in Midjourney. Click the options menu (three dots), then choose "Copy" and "collect seed". Paste that into your armadillo prompt.
Generating these individual assets efficiently can greatly speed up larger projects. Consider how the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT could help you manage prompts and seed numbers for consistent results across many images.
Review the armadillo results and select the one you like most. Upscale it when ready.
Designing the Texas Landscape
The final piece is the background landscape. We want this to also match the style. We'll use the same structured prompt and the same parameters, including the same seed number.
Here’s the prompt for the landscape:
Subject: "Texas landscape scene"
Modifiers: "sunny day grassy plains trees in the distance mountains and clouds"
Art Style: "Graphic illustration" (Slightly simplified)
Details: "only bold outlines" (Simpler details, as it's a background)
Parameters: Use all parameters from the armadillo prompt (--chaos, --ar, --sref, --sw, and the SAME --seed number).
Again, check the results. You'll see how the landscape results look similar in style to the Jeep and the armadillo thanks to using the same primary style parameters and the seed number. Choose the best landscape image and upscale it.
Putting It All Together
With our three main elements created and upscaled – the Jeep, the armadillo, and the landscape – we now bring them into a design program. You can use Photoshop, Affinity Photo, or any tool you prefer.
The process is simple:
Open your design workspace (maybe starting with a circle shape for the graphic).
Place the landscape image for the background.
Place the Jeep image. (You might need to remove the white background, which is easy with the "isolated flat white background" detail in the prompt).
Place the armadillo mascot.
Add any other planned elements, like the club logo or text.
Because you created each piece in a simple, focused way using consistent styles and the seed parameter, assembling them is fast and easy. They all look like they belong together, created for the same purpose and style.
Conclusion
By breaking down a complex design into smaller, manageable elements created piece by piece in Midjourney, you gain more control and achieve better results quickly. This modular approach, combined with smart use of parameters like `seed` and `sref`, helps maintain consistency across all your assets.
Creating assets this way lets you assemble polished graphics or designs in minutes using your preferred design software. Stop fighting with single, overly complex prompts and start building your art like a pro.
