1. Defining your graphic criteria

1. Defining your graphic criteria

When defining a style, first identify and build upon unique visual characteristics or themes that your graphics should embody.

For this brand, let’s explore a style that captures the ideas of 3D momentum and luminous color blending .

It’s helpful to reference existing inspiration you either found online or captured personally. Compiling the inspiration into buckets will form a clearer frame of reference and later become useful as Midjourney inputs.

2.Abstract the characteristics

In our case, I have already designed the logo and color palette. It’s important that the new graphics are closely aligned and work together as a unified system.

By abstracting the characteristics of the logo and color palette (seen above), we can help guide a more on-brand image result in Midjourney.

Now that we’ve identified both the graphic inspiration and brand asset imagery, it’s time to take them both into Midjourney.

2. Blending in Midjourney

2. Blending in Midjourney

While most of us are familiar with the /imagine command, I personally feel it is not as powerful when working toward a very specific visual outcome.

In our case, we’ll use the /blend command.

This command “blends” multiple images together and generates an image somewhere in between.

By typing /blend + (Return) into the Discord message box, the above drag-and-drop modules will appear.

3. Upscaling your graphics

3. Upscaling your graphics

Now that we have a series of graphics we’re comfortable with, we’ll upscale them to a much higher res than Midjourney allows.

For upscaling, I recommend a free tool like BigJPG.com .

5. Post editing

MidJourney isn’t perfect. There will be situations where further editing is needed. Whether it’s fine-tuning colors or composition, I use Photoshop for the finishing touches.

If you‘d like to continue to edit using Midjourney text prompts, Lars Nielsen’s prompt guide is a great beginner’s reference.
