Harnessing the Power of Positive Prompts
When you're telling Midjourney what to create, focus on what you want to see. Instead of saying "no dogs," describe the animals you do want, like cows and pigs. Midjourney focuses on the keywords in your prompt. If you mention something negative, it might include it anyway. Shift your prompts to highlight the elements you wish to see in the image. What you emphasize will likely appear, creating a piece that aligns with your vision.
Dealing with Unwanted Elements
Sometimes, you need to exclude specific things. If positive prompts aren't enough, use "no negative words" at the end of your prompt, followed by what you don't want. For example, use 'd d n o' followed by 'dogs' to keep dogs out of your farm scene. This tells Midjourney to ignore the word "dog," ensuring a canine-free image.
Prioritize Your Vision: Order Matters
Midjourney pays attention to the beginning of your prompt. Put the most important words first. If you want a massive evil bull to be the focus, start with that. But if you want to show a nice farm, put that first. For instance, "a nice farm with a massive evil bull" will highlight the farm more than "a massive evil bull on a nice farm." Order can also work for styles. To emphasize a minimalist style, place 'minimalist logo' at the beginning of the prompt.
Painting with Light and Color
Take control of your image's look by defining color and lighting in your prompt. Want pastel colors? Just say so. Prefer neon? Add that in. You can also specify exact colors like "blue and green color palette." Or, use "sepia colors" for an old-fashioned feel. For lighting, try "low contrast," "high contrast," "dark low lighting," "very sunny lighting," or "golden hour lighting." Even using the same seed number, you can see how much these changes affect the result.
Mastering Word Weight and Multi-Prompts
[P]Midjourney lets you fine-tune your prompts with word weight and multi-prompts. Add two colons after a word, then a number to show its importance. One is the default. Higher numbers give more priority to that word. Use this tool to highlight certain elements.
For example, type "bull::3 farm::1" to make the bull three times more important than the farm. Want to focus on the evil aspect? Give "evil" a score of eight to drastically alter the image.
Consider using TitanXT's Midjourney Automation Suite to streamline this process and manage complex prompts more efficiently.[/P]
Multi-Prompts: Separating Ideas
Use multi-prompts to separate ideas. Write your ideas, then add two colons between them. Want Midjourney to generate a picture with a dog in a hot area outside? Use 'outside hot:: dog'. The two colons tell Midjourney to treat "outside hot" and "dog" as separate parts.
Expanding Your Visual Vocabulary
The more you know about art and photography, the better you can describe what you want. Study art, learn about photography, and grow your vocabulary. This will help you communicate with Midjourney more effectively, turning your visions into reality. If you’re looking for new skills, consider using a learning platform to grow your skillset in the visual arts.
Keep It Short and Sweet
[P]Try not to make your prompts too long. Focus on the most important things. Long prompts can distract from the key elements. Figure out what's most important, and keep your prompts short and to the point. You can also use Midjourney's "shorten" command in Discord to remove unimportant words. Type "/shorten," paste your prompt, and let Midjourney do the work. Then, pick the shortest prompt that gives you the best result.
To further refine your Midjourney workflow, consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It's designed to help you generate high-quality images with less effort.[/P]
Defining Your Style
Clearly define the style you want. Use common art styles like "watercolor painting" or "ink dripping drawing." If you want a photo, try "DSLR photo" or "Sci-Fi Blockbuster movie screen cap." For anime, use "anime 1990 film screen cap." Don't be afraid to play around with different styles, or materials to find the look you love.
Channeling the Masters: Artists as Inspiration
Use artists' names to guide your image. Certain artists have unique styles that can inspire your creations. Try names like H.R. Giger, Picasso, Salvador Dali, or Leonardo da Vinci. You can also combine styles, like "the combined style of Hans BMA and Picasso." Experiment with different artists to get unique results. Combining the old masters with modern styles can yield interesting creations!
Inspiration from Others: Explore and Learn
Check out other people's prompts for inspiration. Look at platforms like free flow a, social media, or Midjourney's explore page. Find images you like, and see how others created them. Use their prompts as a starting point, and change them to fit your own ideas. If you see someone use film grain to add texture, then you can add film grain to one of your photos, too.
Deconstruct and Rebuild: The Power of Permutations
Break down existing prompts into smaller parts. Then, use permutations to see what results you get from each phrase. This helps you understand the impact of each part, and collect phrases that work best for you. Back on Midjourney’s explore page, you can take phrases from longer prompts and use them in permutations. If you like a phrase such as “Dark Fantasy” from a prompt, then use permutations to find your new favorite prompt!
Angles and Framing: Setting the Scene
[P]Describe the angle and framing of your image. This gives you more control over how it looks. Use terms like "high angle" for a high-angle shot or "low angle" for a shot from below. Frame your image with "landscape shot" to show more of the background. Get close with "closeup shot" or step back with "far away landscape shot." You can also use "side angle" to show the side of the subject.

Refine and Remix: The Iterative Process
The first image is often just the start. Keep rerolling and remixing your image to get closer to what you want. On the website, use the rerun button to get new results. Or, change the prompt slightly before rerunning. In Discord, turn on remix mode by typing "/settings" and hitting enter. Then, click the remix button to alter the prompt before creating a new image. And, to even further refine your workflow, try TitanXT's Midjourney Automation Suite.
Setting the Mood: Evoke Emotions
[P]Describe a certain mood in your prompt. This can greatly change the look and feel of your image. A "depressing mood" can dull things down. "Excited" brings energy and movement. "Gloomy and spooky" creates a haunted feeling. "Quiet" evokes stillness. "Loud" adds energy and chaos. "Powerful energy" brings intensity. "Serene Stillness" creates a calm look. "Vibrant party energy" shows excitement and fun.

Prompt Formulas: Your Creative Blueprints
[P]Use solid prompt formulas to speed things up and get better results. A simple formula is "art style of a subject in a locational scene, mood." Just fill in the blanks to create your image. Here are some examples:
a 3D render of a gray star alien in a spaceship, gloomy and spooky
a 3D render of a dolphin in an office, powerful energy
a detailed pen sketch of a dolphin in a spaceship, gloomy and spooky
Experiment with these formulas to see what kind of results you can get.[/P]
Final Thoughts
[P]With these tips, you're ready to create amazing AI art with Midjourney. Use positive prompts, prioritize your words, define your style, and get inspired by others. Don't be afraid to experiment and refine your images. Happy creating!
