Experiment on Prompt in Midjourney — Arrangement, Style, Parameter
Summary
- The adjective ‘surprised’ has strong negative nuances on the model in spite of adding positive adverb ‘positively’ in front of it.
- The prompt which regards the image as an object seldom work, so you need to make subject-specific prompt for effective composition and arrangement.
- It seems that the model has a conflict between — cref and — stylize, in the point that it produced an image looking like a photography, so to be sure of its medium and style, you might have to declare it on the prompt explicitly along with — cref
What I intended to create:
- Referencing Andy-Warhol-related to image(https://s.mj.run/Bnqi1o-yAc0) as style medium such as color and theme
- A man laughing and smiling happily with his eyes and mouth wide open
1st prompt:
pink and red color, the face of a man who is positively surprised at something, smiling, the face is located at the left on the image, his gaze is from left to right, wide open eyes and mouth — cref https://s.mj.run/Bnqi1o-yAc0 — ar 16:9 — stylize 700
Result: Creepy
Takeaway
- I translated the expression of ‘happily laughing’ into ‘positively surprised’, but it seems that the model accepted the meaning in a negative way → I speculate that the adjective ‘surprised’ has strong negative nuances on the model
- The composition and arrangement of a figure is hard to set, as [the face is located at the left on the image, his gaze is from left to right] is not properly reflected on the generated image
2nd Prompt
light pink and red color, happy, smiling, the man is located at the left side, open eyes and mouth — cref https://s.mj.run/Bnqi1o-yAc0 — ar 16:9 — stylize 700
- Change on color: ‘light’ pink and red color
- Removal of ‘positively surprised’, ‘gaze’ phrase
Result: Creepy again
Takeaway
- Though it has character reference( — cref) parameter, it seems that the model has a conflict between — cref and — stylize, in the point that it produced an image looking like a photography
- To be sure of its medium and style, I might have to declare it on the prompt explicitly along with — cref
3rd prompt
a man happily lauging, pop art style of Andy Warhol, light pink and red color, the man is located at the left side — cref https://s.mj.run/Bnqi1o-yAc0 — ar 16:9 — stylize 700
- Addition of ‘Andy Warhol style’ prompt
Result: Not bad, but why are they making their head upward…?
Takeaway
- Arrangement phrase isn’t taken into account — [the man is located at the left side]
4th Prompt
pop art style of Andy Warhol, a man happily laughing, the man is staring right upward, light pink and red color, the man is located at the left side — cref https://s.mj.run/Bnqi1o-yAc0 — ar 16:9 — stylize 700 -
- Changes the position of ‘Pop Art Style’ prompt to the front
- Changes of composition phrase into subject-specific expression
Result: Satisfactory
Takeaway
- Subject-specific phrase for arrangement and composition works
