This Midjourney prompt guide will definitely help you write better prompts.
Getting the most out of air tools needs empathy.
You’ve gone too far, Samson.
Do not empathize with the machines.
What I mean is we need to understand what the machines understand.
And in today’s video, I’ll show you a tool called phraser.tech, which does a fantastic job at visualizing just this.
By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of how to write effective prompts.
So let’s dive straight in and have a look at how it works.

Midjourney Prompt Guide
So when you come into phraser.tech, you have the option to select which of the neural networks you’re working with.
We’re going to give it a crack with Midjourney.
It also works with Stable Diffusion, Discord Diffusion, DALL•E 2, Craiyon, and others.
So the first thing it asks you to do is select the type of content that you’re creating.
So you’re either creating a drawing, a photo, a sketch, or a 3D render.
You have the option to include your own custom version of this.
So this is one of the basic things to define when creating your art.
In this instance, I’m going to go with a photo.
Writing Effective Descriptions
Now next up on this Midjourney prompt guide, it has this very useful tool that outlines some of the most important points for writing effective descriptions.
Being an effective prompt writer requires skills and articulation and description.
So, what you need to do is use at least three words, at least one noun, no negations which mean no notch, and say there are no hats for example.
At least one adjective and at least one dependent object, which means one object is using another object.
You don’t need to use all of these but it is suggested to get the most out of the tools.
So for example we could put a wise goat drinking tea.
So we’ve got all of these different tips.
We’ve got the dependent object which is the tea.
We’ve got the adjective which is wise.
No negations, at least one noun.
We’ve got the goat and cup of tea and it’s more than three words.
So you’ll also notice on the right-hand side a number of images are generated at the same time.
These come from a huge library that they have from Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALLE.
And pick and choose the most similar images they have to the prompts that you are writing so you can instantly get a rough idea of what might come up.
But, bear in mind that none of these will be exactly what you’re looking for and your end results are likely to be vastly different.
So, go ahead and press next.
Defining Styles
The next thing that art generators love is defining styles.
So you can pick any artist, photographer, illustrator, or even artistic movement and inform the generator that this is the vibe that you’re looking for in this tool.
You also get a library of existing styles that you can view.
So you can go ahead and pick anything from here.
I’m going to pick Steve McCurry, this photographer.
But, feel free to put in a custom one as well.
You can put in anything like this.
You might put in Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, Alphonse Mucha, so much whoever floats your boat.
Find Color Palettes
Next up on this Midjourney prompt guide, it’s great to find the color palettes inside the works.
Now there are a few that I’ve been using that are not included in the suggestions here, which I recommend experimenting with as well.
You can ask it for a warm color palette, or a cold color palette.
You can ask it for a desaturated color palette or palette such as fluorescent, neon, pastel, effervescent, aquatic, mechanical, or cosmic color palette.
Use different types of color schemes such as analogous which uses colors that are more similar to each other and complement each other very well.
You could also ask for complimentary colors, which are colors that are opposites to each other on the color spectrum like orange and blue or purple and green.
Doing this refines the number of colors that are put into the piece generally unless you define the colors.
There is a hell of a lot of color bombing that goes on in these works.
The art generators will put every single shade that you’ve ever seen inside your piece.
So to get better prompts, to get better work, define your color palettes.
In this case, I’m going to use my own custom color palette.
I’m going to define it as a complementary color palette.
Add Texture
So, the next thing you can do is add a texture.
So the art generators understand textures very well.
It has a broad library of resources to draw from regarding texture.
However, adding in texture is not always necessary if it’s self-evident what you’re creating.
So in this case I’m not going to add a texture.
And you can simply put in a space and press OK in this tool to do that.
Choose Resolution
Now another thing that these art generators understand particularly well is resolution.
So you can have an extremely high-definition image or you can have an extremely low-definition image.
And the benefit of having a low-definition image is you can get some very distinct stylized examples, perhaps some pixel art.
But in most cases, you’re going to want to define the highest detail possible.
So it’s essential every time you create a prompt if you want it to be detailed that you say that.
And to do that you just have to use words like 4K ultra-high definition.
So in this example here it’s giving you this option.
So we’re just going to click on that.
Choose a Sense of Emotion
Now the tools have a sense of emotion.
They can feel love, they can feel sadness, they can feel inspired, they can give you works that are angry, they can give you some fun work, and they can elicit desire.
