Explore advanced techniques in AI image generation with a focus on enhancing creativity and producing unique styles using the Midjourney platform. Midjourney is the most advanced AI image-generating ("text-to-image") program. It allows users who cannot draw to channel their creativity into drawing and artists to have a new channel.
In this book, I will concentrate on algorithms which can "cook up" some unique styles, unlike those in the underlying database. The book will help to figure out what to expect of Midjourney. Any sample prompts in the book will follow with an explanation of "how" they work. The same applies to image prompts and prompt iterations covered later in the book. I will start by briefly going through the basics: creating text prompts (user-entered text image description that Midjourney's AI converts into images). Great prompts do not need to be long. I will suggest simple templates that work for almost any subject you choose. There are short sentences to construct that will create a beautiful - and different - image every time ("100% prompts"). There are additional parameters that many people have at default settings that can be changed and influence the outcomes. I will describe the method of combining subjects, their qualities, and the image style made of words that normally do not go together. This is a sure why to draw something unique. One section of the book will be dedicated to creating interesting textures. I will cover AI prompt creation using Midjourney's and several other sites' function, "image-to-text." I will talk about multi-prompts and assigning weights to parts of the prompt to achieve a balance. This is also closely related to removing unwanted objects from the image. The book will describe several ways of mixed image-and-text prompt creation that will likely get unique results. To understand Midjourney's "fails," like hands with six fingers, users need to know its current weak parts and ways to fixproblems.
Overall, the book's intention is to show you how to think out of the box with AI art creation as well as give them practical tips and techniques for drawing.
What You Will Learn
- Create image to "apply" to a different scene
- Spice up the style, iteratively re-run a prompt with the "inpaint" (Vary/Region) function
- Learn about multi-prompts and weights
- Use AI systems that generate prompts and input images for Midjourney
Who Is This Book For
Graphic Designers, Architects, Book Illustrators, Product Photographers, Game Developers, Fashion and Interior Designers, Educators, and AI Researchers with interest in AI image creation but no experience in using "text-to-image" software would benefit from the book.
