Mastering Midjourney prompts: pinpoint aesthetics with design software styles

Midjourney is an AI tool that empowers users to generate images by providing short sentences, known as prompts. To ensure optimal results from Midjourney, it is crucial to include specific keywords in our prompts that properly describe the desired image.

In this article, we'll focus on using design software keywords (e.g., Photoshop, Blender, etc.) to control the aesthetics of the AI-generated content produced by Midjourney.

Each graphic design tool is associated with a specific style. For example, Cinema4D is a 3D modelling tool, therefore adding 'C4D' into your prompt will create a 3D style.

By including design software keywords within our prompts, we can effortlessly steer Midjourney to create visually stunning outputs that align perfectly with our creative vision.

Image prompt examples

Let's take a look at some examples to see how this works.

Say we want to create the image of a strong female warrior who looks like a scary demon. We can start using the prompt 'female demon warrior' and then modify the output style with the addition of a design software keyword.

The images below clearly show how using different design software keywords can greatly change the look and feel of the produced image.
