Explore Prompting

Even short single-word prompts will produce beautiful images in Midjourney's default style, but you can create more interesting personalized results by combining concepts like artistic medium, historical periods, location, and more.

Pick A Medium

Break out the paint, crayons, scratchboard, printing presses, glitter, ink, and colored paper. One of the best ways to generate a stylish image is by specifying an artistic medium.

prompt example: /imagine prompt <any art style> style cat

Get Specific

More precise words and phrases will help create an image with exactly the right look and feel.

prompt example: /imagine prompt <style> sketch of a cat

Time Travel

Different eras have distinct visual styles.

prompt example: /imagine prompt <decade> cat illustration

Emote

Use emotion words to give characters personality.

prompt example: /imagine prompt <emotion> cat

Get Colorful

A full spectrum of possibilities.

prompt example: /imagine prompt <color word> colored cat

Environmental Exploration
