Midjourney tutorial: creating abstract background wallpapers

One of the easiest ways to add a unique personal touch to our devices is by using background wallpapers. Generally, abstract wallpapers are preferred as they don't draw too much attention and don't interfere with our daily productivity.

Thanks to AI image generation tools like Midjourney, creating these abstract backgrounds is now a task within everyone's reach.

In this tutorial, we will go through the process of designing unique, abstract background wallpapers in Midjourney, complete with examples to inspire your creations.
