Q & A
How can I generate images that look more like an average person and less like a supermodel using Midjourney?
-To generate more normal-looking images, use negative prompting with terms such as 'model', 'makeup', 'photoshop', and 'perfect'. Also, consider using the 'Raw Mode' to minimize Midjourney's creativity and include context like 'Facebook' to suggest a platform for everyday photos.
Why do Midjourney-generated images sometimes have distorted faces, noses, or hands when there are multiple characters in the scene?
-The distortion occurs because smaller facial features are harder to render accurately. To mitigate this, use the 'Creative Upscale' feature, which improves image quality and often fixes facial distortions in multi-character images.
What is a good prompt for creating a t-shirt mockup photoshoot using Midjourney?
-Use the explore homepage on Midjourney's website to find inspiration and specific prompts like 'shirt mockup'. Utilize the 'edit prompt' feature to copy and paste a suitable prompt into the message bar and generate your t-shirt mockups.
How can I use style consistency to create a complete product line in Midjourney?
-Collect reference images that embody the style you want for your product line. Upload these to Midjourney and use the 'style reference' feature by attaching them to your prompt. This will help maintain a consistent style across different products.
Is it possible to generate images of tribes or cultures that we haven't seen before using Midjourney?
-Yes, but it requires a creative and detailed prompt. Specify unique attributes like 'light blue stripes of paint on their faces' and 'weapons made out of bones' to generate truly unique tribe images.
How can I prompt for images similar to those seen in AI history videos like Stellar Sagas?
-Use the '/describe' command in Midjourney to generate prompts based on a reference image. Combine this with the 'style reference' feature for even closer results to the original style.
What are some recommended camera types, film stocks, and camera lenses for general PowerPoint background images?
-The choice depends on the style of the presentation. For generic stock images, use 'stock photo' in your prompt. For a light-hearted presentation, consider 'clipart'. For minimalistic designs, use 'vector illustration' with 'minimalistic' as a keyword.
How can I arrange multiple subjects in a scene with different positions, such as a girl on a balcony and a boy on the street below?
-Achieving fine control over subject placement can be challenging. Use the 'Vary Region' tool to select specific areas for each subject and adjust your prompt accordingly. However, note that small facial features may still be distorted.
What are some tips for creating anime-style images with Midjourney?
-Include emotions and expressions in your prompts to enhance the anime-style images. Powerful emotions and storylines can make the images more captivating and engaging for viewers.
How can I achieve realistic textures of drenched clothes in my Midjourney-generated images?
-Be specific in your prompts about the desired texture. For example, describe the clothing as 'wet and covered with mud' and the hair as 'wet with water and mud'. This can help Midjourney generate images with a basic representation of the desired effect.
Is it possible to have two or more consistent characters in different scenes using Midjourney?
-Yes, but it may require experimentation with different methods. Consider using the '/prefer_option_set' command or character references in your prompts. Additionally, watch tutorial videos for more detailed guidance on creating consistent characters.

🎨 Generating Normal-Looking Portraits
The paragraph discusses the challenge of generating images that resemble average individuals rather than idealized supermodels. It suggests using negative prompting with the --no parameter to exclude terms like 'model', 'makeup', 'photoshop', and 'perfect'. Additionally, it recommends using Raw Mode to limit the AI's creativity and achieve a more natural look. The speaker also addresses common problems with Midjourney, such as distorted faces in images with multiple characters, and suggests using the Creative Upscale feature to improve image quality.
👕 T-Shirt Mockup Photoshoot Prompts
This section provides guidance on creating a t-shirt mockup photoshoot using Midjourney. It advises searching for inspiration on the Midjourney website and using the edit prompt feature to copy and paste successful prompts. The speaker demonstrates how to use the create tab to generate t-shirt mockups and suggests that outdoor and hiking-themed brands would fit well with the generated images.
