The Ultimate MidJourney Prompting Guide

The video begins with an introduction to using Midjourney for creating various types of images, such as cool art pieces, video game-inspired images, infographics, watercolors, and posters. The guide offers to show viewers how to achieve these styles and more. The presenter shares their experience with Midjourney, experimenting with different styles and prompts. The first step is to join the beta version of Midjourney through their website, which requires a Discord account. Once in Discord, users can join specific rooms for newcomers to generate prompts and get inspired by others' creations or use the Midjourney bot for private prompt generation. The video then explains how to tweak settings within Midjourney, particularly selecting Midjourney version 4 and enabling remix mode for higher quality images and additional creative possibilities.

The guide explains how to use aspect ratios to control the shape of the generated images, with options for 1:1, 3:2 (landscape), and 2:3 (portrait) modes. It also covers the use of negative prompts to exclude certain elements from the images, although it notes that this feature may not always work effectively in Midjourney version 4. The video demonstrates how to input a prompt for a wolf wearing a top hat on a beach and how to upscale a preferred image. It also shows how to use remix mode to tweak and generate variations of an image, and the importance of using the same 'seed' for consistent styles across images.

The presenter discusses various creative prompts inspired by artists like Guy Parsons, known for his synthwave style, and Chris Castaneda, famous for his 1990s point-and-click 16-bit adventure game style. The video showcases how to use these styles to generate images of a wolf in different settings. It also highlights other styles like duotone portraits, flat duotone, and diagrammatic drawings. The guide recommends following these artists on social media for more inspiration and provides examples of how to apply their styles using Midjourney's prompting system.

The video delves into more advanced techniques, such as using the Charlie Harper style for national park posters and blending two images together using remix mode. It also introduces the concept of uploading personal images to Midjourney and iterating off of them to create unique styles. The guide demonstrates how to blend an image of a person with various artistic styles, like phantasmal iridescent, to generate creative and artistic hybrid images. It also shares a trick for blending an abstract paint splatter with a portrait to create a one-of-a-kind artwork.

The final part of the video provides resources for further inspiration and learning about Midjourney prompting. It mentions the Mid Journey subreddit on Reddit, where users can view and draw inspiration from top images created with the tool. The guide also recommends using chat GPT for generating creative prompts and futuretools.io for a curated list of AI tools and Midjourney prompting guides. The video concludes with an invitation to explore futuretools.io for daily updates on the latest AI tools.
