How to Create Stunning Poster Prints with Midjourney
Looking to decorate your space with one-of-a-kind artwork tailored to your taste? The creative possibilities are endless with Midjourney’s AI image generator. With just a few prompt words, you can manifest completely personalised posters, prints and more to hang on your walls.
In this post, we’ll walk through everything you need to know to go from generating images with Midjourney to having high-quality physical artwork.
Curating Your AI Imagery
First, spend some time prompting Midjourney to produce exactly the right image for your goals. Referencing specific styles, artists, compositions etc. helps steer the AI creatively.
Some fun prompt themes to spark ideas:
- Pop culture parodies (movies, shows, games, etc.)
- Inside jokes/memes
- Ironic or humorous takes on your location
- Political/celebrity satire
- Dream destinations
- Surreal fantasyscapes
Remember, detail and specificity is key. For posters, an aspect ratio like 2:3 works well. Ask for high resolution too.
Let’s dive in!
#1 Midjourney Movie Poster Prompt: Fight Club
#2 Midjourney TV Poster Prompt: Stranger Things
#3 Midjourney Travel Poster Prompt: New Yrok, NY
#4 Midjourney Graphic Poster Prompt: F-35 Jet Fighter
The F-35 in all its glory. I’m sure this prompt would also work great for any other F-XX Jet Fighter or Air Force Plane in the world. Try it.
I used the complementary colours of red, white and blue to provide a striking contrast and patriotism.
Personally, I might actually frame this one and put it on my wall.
#5 Midjourney Blacklight Poster Prompt: Skittle Forest
This is the blacklight poster version.
Does it actually glow in a black light? I don’t know, but I can’t see why not. Why don’t you give it a try?
#6 Midjourney Poster Prompt: Hotel
#7 Midjourney Poster Prompt: UFO
Just a UFO Midjourney poster using Niji Mode. That is all.
#12 Midjourney Poster: Nanopunk Poster
Yes, you read that right. This masterpiece was created with just two words in the prompt: “Nanopunk Poster”. Be sure to discover more incredible two-word prompts in my next posting.
Pre-Printing Option #1: How to Easily Upscale Your Midjourney Poster for Free
Now that you have your poster, you need to upscale it so that you can print it without nearly as much pixelation. You can upscale to 2X or 4X directly in Midjourney. Want it even bigger though? The good news is that it’s easy to do.
• Head over to Imglarger.com.
• Go to “Sign In”.
• Enter your email and click “Sign in with email link”.
• An email will then be sent to you with a login link. Click the link in your email, and it will take you back to the site.
• Click the giant “Upload Images” button.
• Select your image.
• Click on “400%”. This will make your image four times its current size. You can use 800% if you get the paid version, but in the majority of cases, that’s unnecessary unless you’re printing to something very large.
• Click “Start”.
• Once it’s done processing, just click “Download”.
That’s it. It couldn’t be more simple!
Please note that although this tool is free, there is a limit to how many upscales you can do with a free account. If you want more upscales than the allotted amount, then you’ll need to pay.
Pre-Printing Option #2: How to Easily Convert Your Midjourney Poster into a Vector Image for Free
If your Midjourney poster is of a “graphic” or “vector style”, then you might want to go with vectorizing your image.
How do you know if vectorizing is the best choice for you? Well, is your design something that doesn’t have a ton of detail? Something that is made up of blocks of color? Something that isn’t lifelike?
If so, then try a vector image and see how it looks.
For example, prompt #1 (Fight Club) absolutely needs to be vectorized. It’s the first prompt on this page.
A vector image can essentially be printed on the biggest canvas you can throw at it. Cool, right?
Anyways, to vectorize your image, just go to Vectorizer.ai. Then drag and drop your image onto the site, choose the default settings in most cases, and click “Download”. That’s it.
In most cases, you do NOT need to upscale AND vectorize the same image before printing it.
What Site to Use to Print Your Midjourney Poster
If you used the 2:3 aspect ratio in your poster prompts (like ALL of the examples on this page), then you can print in any 2:3 size, such as 4×6, 8×12, 12×18, 16×24, 20×30, 24×36, 30×45, 40×60. The larger you go, the more expensive it will be (obviously). Also, the larger you go, the greater chance you’ll have of running into blurriness and/or pixelation if it’s not a vector image.
There are a lot of sites that will print your image. I’d recommend checking out Lumaprints.com or Redbubble.com.
Can You Legally Sell Your Midjourney Posters Online?
This is not legal advice. Consult with a lawyer.
With that said, as of August 2023, yes, you can.
Should you? I don’t know. It’s a moral gray area, in my opinion.
Research it thoroughly and make your own decision. I know a lot of people choose to sell Midjourney posters on Etsy. A few of them make a lot of money.
