Even short single-word prompts will produce beautiful images in Midjourney's default style, but you can create more interesting personalized results by combining concepts like artistic medium, historical periods, location, and more.

Pick a medium

Break out the paint, crayons, scratchboard, printing presses, glitter, ink, and colored paper. One of the best ways to generate a stylish image is by specifying an artistic medium.

Prompt example: /imagine prompt <any art style> style cat

Get Specific

More precise words and phrases will help create an image with exactly the right look and feel.

Prompt example: /imagine prompt <style> sketch of a cat
