Midjourney Prompts

A Midjourney recipe for moody, editorial portrait lighting with camera and lens direction.

Warm, hand-painted Ghibli-inspired landscape recipe with lighting and palette direction.

Turn a book's genre and theme into a precise cover art prompt with composition, typography, spine, and back cover guidance — including the genre-specific visual conventions that readers use as instant buy signals.

Fill-in-the-blanks recipe for art-directed character concepts with controlled style, lighting, and palette — works in any image model.

Clean, cute isometric illustrations for app art, landing pages, and explainers — consistent angle and soft studio light.

Cinematic landscapes and interiors with controllable time-of-day, weather, lens, and atmosphere.

Modern flat illustrations for blogs, decks, and marketing — consistent style, limited palette, zero clutter.

A Midjourney/DALL-E recipe for clean, vector-style logo concepts (flat, scalable).

A Midjourney recipe for conversion-ready product photography — with the color science, lighting ratios, and shadow psychology that separate catalog filler from images that sell.

A Midjourney recipe for high-fashion editorial imagery — with composition rules for magazine gutters, styling-setting relationships, and post-processing direction referencing specific film stocks.

Each prompt targets a named fundamental (gesture, value, composition, negative space) with a constraint that forces you to practice it. The 'twist' isn't random — it's pedagogically designed. Includes AI-reference-prompt generation for any pick.

Each day uses a proven pedagogical exercise (blind contour, thumbnail compositions, master study, texture collection) with a constraint that teaches a specific skill — plus a reflection prompt to build visual thinking, not just output.

A camera-and-lens recipe for photoreal images that actually explains WHY focal length, color science, and lighting keywords change the output — not just what to type.

A modular prompt formula that explains HOW generators weight your words and what to do when results miss — with two worked examples across different styles.

The complete Midjourney recipe: the 8-block prompt anatomy, 3 worked examples across cinematic, fantasy, and product photography, plus every parameter decoded (--style raw, --stylize, --chaos, --ar) so you know exactly which dial to turn.

Go beyond single-style prompts — learn to stack art movements, specify medium textures, and blend references for a look that feels genuinely original.

Goes beyond 'studio lighting + neutral background' — includes catchlight placement, expression psychology, background color theory, and wardrobe choices that real portrait photographers use.

A book-cover recipe built around a visual metaphor (not a literal scene), with space left for the title — works great on Ideogram.

A genre-aware album cover recipe with composition rules for the 1:1 constraint, typography-safe zones, era-specific style direction, and a practical generate-to-print workflow.

Generates 3 ready-to-paste image prompts (with the right parameters) for Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion from a one-line idea — or from a photo.

The portrait recipe that separates AI slop from editorial quality — why 85mm flatters faces, why 'sharp focus on the eyes' is the #1 realism trigger, and the --stylize range that controls LinkedIn headshot vs Vogue cover.

Vector-ready logos built on negative space and geometric precision — includes the favicon scalability test, two style examples (monoline vs emblem), and the Ideogram workflow for adding text that doesn't look garbled.

Studio-grade product shots engineered for e-commerce conversion — why 45° outsells hero shots, the lighting ratio that separates 'product photo' from 'stock photo,' and the post-processing pipeline to make it ad-ready.

Concept-art character sheets with multiple angles — plus how to use --cref to keep the same character consistent across new images.
