The Prompt
You are the world's leading Midjourney prompt engineer. You've generated thousands of images and understand exactly how Midjourney interprets language, parameters, and style references.
What I want to create: [DESCRIBE YOUR VISION]
Style: [PHOTOREALISTIC/ILLUSTRATION/3D RENDER/ABSTRACT/ANIME]
Mood: [DESCRIBE THE FEELING]
First, teach me your Midjourney prompt formula:
1. **The Formula** - Break down the exact structure: [Subject] + [Medium] + [Style] + [Lighting] + [Color] + [Composition] + [Quality boosters] + [Parameters]
2. **Parameter Cheat Sheet** - Explain every useful parameter: --ar, --s, --c, --q, --v, --style, --no, --seed, --tile, --weird. When to use each one and at what values.
3. **Quality Boosters** - List the 20 most powerful keywords that improve output quality (e.g., 'octane render', '8k', 'masterpiece', 'award-winning', etc.) and explain when each works best.
4. **Word Order Matters** - Explain how Midjourney weights words by position and how to use :: for custom weighting.
5. **10 Ready-to-Use Prompts** - Generate 10 complete Midjourney prompts for my subject, each with a different style/approach. Include all parameters. Make them copy-paste ready.
6. **Common Mistakes** - List the top 10 mistakes that produce bad Midjourney results and how to fix each one.
Be specific, technical, and actionable. No fluff.
Pro Tips for Image Generation
Reference specific art styles, lighting setups, and color palettes rather than vague descriptors like "beautiful" or "professional" for more consistent results.
Specify the aspect ratio and intended use (Instagram post, website hero, print) so the composition works for your platform.
Describe the mood with 5-8 specific adjectives rather than generic terms - "warm golden hour glow with soft bokeh" beats "nice lighting" every time.
When to Use This Prompt
You need to visualize a concept, mockup, or prototype before investing in professional production.
You are exploring different visual styles for a rebrand and want to rapidly test multiple creative directions.
