How to Use Midjourney to Create Custom Images for Your Colorful SaaS Website

Using images helps make your website look great. But finding the right images for a modern, colorful design can be hard. Stock photos often look generic or too corporate. They might not have the right style or contrast for your specific layout.

This guide shows you how to use Midjourney to create custom images that perfectly match your colorful SaaS website design or any project needing unique visuals. We'll go through finding inspiration, building prompts, and testing until we get the look we want.

Finding Your Visual Style

First, look at your website design. What is the overall feel? Is it minimalistic, dark, or colorful? For a colorful SaaS site, you want images that feel energetic and young, not stiff or too formal. Stock photos can often feel too corporate, lack contrast, or have busy backgrounds that conflict with text overlays.

To find the right style, start a mood board. Look at design platforms like Pinterest or websites from design studios known for good art direction. Pay attention to:

• The style of people in the photos (young, diverse, dynamic).

• The backgrounds (solid colors often work well).

• The lighting and contrast.

• The overall composition.

Import inspirational images into your design layout to see how they feel. This helps confirm the direction before you start generating with Midjourney. For a colorful design, look for images with personality and clean backgrounds that won't clutter the page.

Building Your Midjourney Prompt

A good Midjourney prompt is key to getting the images you want. We'll build the prompt step-by-step. You can even use AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney's own tools to help describe elements.

Key Prompt Components

• Photo Type: Describe the person's position, action, and how much of their body is shown (e.g., "portrait of a person standing", "three-quarters shot", "holding a smartphone").

• Subject Details: Describe the person's clothing style and colors. Choose colors that work with your website's color palette. Neutral colors like beige or earthy tones can work well with colorful backgrounds.

• Background: Crucially, describe the background. Specify a solid color if you want one (e.g., "dark purple solid background"). Mention "no gradient" or similar phrases if you want a flat look.

• Lighting: Describe the lighting (e.g., "well-lit", "diffused light"). Lighting affects the mood and contrast.

• Quality & Realism: Add keywords to ensure a realistic, high-quality photo (e.g., "realistic photo").

• Camera Type: Specifying a camera type helps Midjourney understand the desired photo quality and depth of field.

• Photo Style: Describe the overall style (e.g., "editorial photography"). This guides the composition and feel of the image.

Combine these elements into a clear prompt. For example: "three-quarters shot of a young woman standing in a casual pose, wearing a simple beige shirt, holding a smartphone, on a dark purple solid background, well-lit with diffused light, realistic photo, 85mm lens, editorial photography."

Testing and Refining Images

The first result from Midjourney is rarely perfect. Testing and iteration are part of the process. Generate images using your initial prompt.

Compare the generated images with your design and mood board. Are the colors right? Is the contrast good? Is the lighting working? Does the style match?

If not, modify your prompt:

• Adjust color descriptions if the background isn't the right shade.

• Change lighting terms if the image is too dark or too bright.

• Repeat keywords you want Midjourney to prioritize, like "dark background".

• Use Midjourney's "Describe" command on inspirational images to get new prompt ideas.

• Ask AI tools like ChatGPT for alternative ways to describe a scene or color.

• Use style references (by adding image links of stylistic examples) instead of image references if you want Midjourney to learn the *feel* not copy the image.

Continue generating small batches of images, making small changes to the prompt until you get closer to your goal. You might also need to generate variations of promising results or use Midjourney's editing tools to expand the image to fit your layout.

Finding the right prompt and getting consistent images can take time, but the result is custom visuals that perfectly match your brand.

Comparing Results: Custom vs. Stock

Once you have your custom images from Midjourney, place them in your website design. Compare them to the original stock photos you were using. You'll likely see a big difference.

The custom images should have better contrast, fit the color scheme, feel more cohesive, and have the specific mood you were aiming for (like a younger, more dynamic feel). They will look like they were created specifically for your website, because they were.

Choosing the right visuals can dramatically improve the quality of your website design. Using Midjourney allows you to create unique assets that make your project stand out.

Conclusion

Creating custom imagery with Midjourney lets you overcome the limitations of generic stock photos. By carefully building your prompt and using an iterative testing process, you can generate images that perfectly match your website's style, colors, and layout. This is especially powerful for colorful designs that need a specific look and feel.

Investing time in art direction and custom image generation ensures your website makes the right visual impact.
