Prompts can be very simple. Single words (or even an emoji!) will produce an image. Very short prompts will rely heavily on Midjourney’s default style, so a more descriptive prompt is better for a unique look. However, super-long prompts aren’t always better. Concentrate on the main concepts you want to create.
The Midjourney Bot does not understand grammar, sentence structure, or words like humans. Word choice also matters. More specific synonyms work better in many circumstances. Instead of big, try gigantic, enormous, or immense. Remove words when possible. Fewer words mean each word has a more powerful influence. Use commas, brackets, and hyphens to help organize your thoughts, but know the Midjourney Bot will not reliably interpret them. The Midjourney Bot does not consider capitalization.

It is better to describe what you want instead of what you don’t want. If you ask for a party with “no cake,” your image will probably include a cake. If you want to ensure an object is not in the final image, try advance prompting using the
Anything left unsaid may surprise you. Be as specific or vague as you want, but anything you leave out will be randomized. Being vague is a great way to get variety, but you may not get the specific details you want.
Try to be clear about any context or details that are important to you. Think about:
✦ Subject: person, animal, character, location, object, etc.
✦ Medium: photo, painting, illustration, sculpture, doodle, tapestry, etc.
✦ Environment: indoors, outdoors, on the moon, in Narnia, underwater, the Emerald City, etc.
✦ Lighting: soft, ambient, overcast, neon, studio lights, etc
✦ Color: vibrant, muted, bright, monochromatic, colorful, black and white, pastel, etc.
✦ Mood: Sedate, calm, raucous, energetic, etc.
✦ Composition: Portrait, headshot, closeup, birds-eye view, etc.
