Summary

The article presents ten creative prompt ideas for generating unique images using Midjourney, an AI image generation tool, ranging from stained glass windows to LOLcat photobombing.

Abstract

The web content introduces readers to ten innovative prompt ideas designed to enhance AI image generation using Midjourney. These prompts include creating stained glass window effects, 3D logos, photo sequences, minimalist photography, black and white illustrations, early cinematography-style images, cinematic scenes, knolling pictures, cartoon characters, and humorous LOLcat photobombing images. The article builds upon a previous piece, "10 Amazing Techniques for Midjourney," and encourages readers to experiment with these prompts for various projects, from logo design to storyboarding. It also provides examples and detailed commands for each prompt, showcasing the versatility and potential of Midjourney in producing diverse and high-quality visual content.

Opinions

The author believes that using the "product photography" suffix can create impressive 3D logos.
The technique of "minimalist photography" is highly recommended for controlling the essence of artistic and storyboard renderings.
The author finds the "Muybridge sequence" prompt particularly useful for recreating the style of early cinematography.
Cinematography with Midjourney is considered an "enormous topic," prompting the author to create a comprehensive three-part series on the subject.
"Knolling" is suggested as a method to explore Midjourney's associations with certain topics or objects, yielding interesting results.
The author encourages readers to let their creativity flow by using prompts that invite Midjourney to be inspired by various scenes or objects, such as a painting by Salvadore Dali inspired by "Jaws."
The "LOLCat photobombing" prompt is presented as a fun way to experiment with AI image generation, potentially creating humorous greeting cards.

This is kind of a sequel to “10 Amazing Techniques for Midjourney.” Have fun trying them out!

Stained Glass Windows

/imagine prompt: [anything], stained glass window

… you can turn the windows fullscreen with

/imagine prompt: [anything], stained glass window, close up

… zoom in further with

/imagine prompt: [anything], stained glass window, close up --no frame border window

3D Logos

Besides prompting for logos directly, there is another neat way to create 3D logos for your projects: using the “product photography” suffix plus enforcing a solid background like so

/imagine prompt: [logo/project/business description], product photography,
white background --no background --no frame

Photo Sequences

A neat way to create a series of images on a given topic, scene or character:

/imagine prompt: photo sequence of [anything]

Minimalist Photography

I find this one very useful when I want to control things both in artistic renderings as well as in mood boards and storyboards. It’s a great suffix to boil down your renderings to the essence is “minimalist photography”.

/imagine prompt: [scene/object], minimalist photography

/imagine prompt: humans and artificial intelligence, the future, minimalist photography

Quick B/W Illustrations

This one is useful when you are short on time and need to create clean b/w illustrations quickly.

/imagine prompt: [anything], coloring image, black and white, white background 
--no background

Early Cinematography

In 1878 Eadweard Muybridge placed 12 cameras along a horse race track to create a series of sequential photographs. The man became so famous for “chronophotography of animal locomotion” that you can ask Midjourney to render in the style of his work:

/imagine prompt: [anything], Muybridge sequence

Cinematic Prompts

Cinematography with Midjourney has become such an enormous topic that I’ve put together a comprehensive three-part series on creating cinematic prompts:

Knolling

While working on a project for the American furniture brand Florence Knoll, janitor Andrew Kromelow developed the habit of arranging tools in a neat rectangular formation. Hence the term knolling. This one gives interesting results and is also a great tool to find out which “associations” Midjourney has to a certain topic or object.

/imagine prompt: [scene/object description], knolling

Be The Muse

… and let artists be inspired by whatever you want.

/imagine [scene/object description], painting by [artist] inspired by [anything]

/imagine cats, painting by salvadore dali inspired by jaws

Creating Cartoon Characters

If you need to come up with characters drafts quickly, try this one:

/imagine [character description], 
8k, white background --ar 2:3 
--no background --no shadow

LOLCat Photobombing

Lastly, one to experiment with. :) Actually, you can create pretty funny greeting cards with this one. Drop me one on Twitter if you like. :)

/imagine prompt: [scene/object], LOLcat photobombing
