V6 Prompt Design - Midjourney Beginner Tutorial
Summary
TLDRThe video discusses how to craft effective prompts for AI art generation using Midjourney. It emphasizes using specific categories of words to establish the subject, setting, visuals, context, and style. The presenter first highlights the importance of nouns as the core subject and setting. Nouns like archetypes, characters, animals, places, objects establish the primary focus. They are powerful at the start of a prompt to guide the AI. Next, prepositions indicate direction, location and spatial relationships between elements. Words like 'above', 'below', 'against' position subjects and create perspective. Adjectives visually describe nouns - weathered, serene, beautiful. They enhance prompts by specifying appearance, size, shape, texture, materials and colors. Vivid colors like emerald add richness. Adverbs emphasize and refine descriptions, focusing on the 'how'. For Midjourney, adverbs clarifying extent or degree are most relevant, like 'dimly lit' or 'extremely large' muscles. Finally, historical, cultural and artistic references provide context. Styles like art deco or eras like Victorian England set aesthetics. Contrasting time periods like futuristic Viking generates intriguing juxtapositions. The presenter recommends placing references at the start, or sandwiching them between the beginning and end. He provides examples combining all elements into detailed, visually compelling prompts. The key message is carefully selecting descriptive words in these categories significantly improves Midjourney prompts. Nouns establish subjects, prepositions arrange them spatially, adjectives describe appearances, adverbs emphasize details, and references provide stylistic context.

Introduction to Using Effective Words in Midjourney Prompts
The narrator introduces himself and explains he will teach viewers about five categories of words to use in Midjourney prompts: nouns that establish subjects and settings, prepositions that indicate direction and spatial relationships, adjectives that describe and enhance, adverbs that provide emphasis and refinement, and references that give stylistic or cultural context.
Using Nouns as the Backbone of Prompts
Nouns name people, places, things or ideas and serve as the main subjects in a description. Using archetypal nouns for characters works well. Other examples are animals, creatures, places, settings, objects and items. Start prompts with nouns as they establish key subjects and settings.
Using Prepositions to Define Spatial Relationships
Prepositions indicate direction, location or time of objects. They establish spatial relationships between elements, creating perspective and depth. Some examples are a cat beneath a tree or leaves drifting across a river, which imply movement over time.
Using Adjectives to Enhance and Describe
Adjectives describe or visually enhance nouns. They can define appearance, size, shape, texture, material or color. Focus on using descriptive words to add depth and detail. Some examples are ornate vs. minimal silverware or a colossal vs. miniature rodent.
Using Adverbs for Emphasis and Refinement
Adverbs provide more detail about the manner in which something appears by emphasizing or clarifying parts of the prompt. For example, smoke blowing violently versus calmly across a field. Adverbs can also describe the degree or extent of an attribute, like extremely large muscles.
Using References for Stylistic and Cultural Context
References add stylistic framework, cultural or historical context. Some examples are detecting in art deco style, a scene reminiscent of Victorian England, or an ancient Greek sniper rifle. Place references near the beginning of prompts and consider mentioning again at the end.

Transcripts
mid journey is now much more responsive
to the words you use you have the chance
to really tell the bot what you want to
see but what words should you use in
your prompt I'm going to teach you all
about that today and if you're new here
my name is Nolan it's my goal to make
learning AI as straightforward as
possible I want to thank clarinet and
whoever else helped put together those
guides over on Discord I'll leave a link
to that thread in the description below
you see there are five categories of
words you should be exploring in your
prompt we are going to go through them
one at a time and the first category
should be familiar to you it's the
concept of nouns nouns are the
foundational subject of your prompt they
are words that name people places things
or ideas serving as the main subjects or
objects in a description like a
skyscraper they can also establish a
setting or context as in a forest which
sets the scene for further description
nouns for characters like archetypes are
really powerful in your prompt I'm
talking things like doctor warrior angel
they are all well represented by mid
Journey you could mention people or
characters like a mermaid or detective
Jimmy crabcakes number three is
hilarious you could mention animals or
creatures like a phoenix or a cyborg
Chimera you could mention places or
settings like an island Palace or a
spaceship and finally you can mention
objects or items like the sword of
Montreal or the book of Eternal Secrets
start your prompt with nouns as they are
the backbone of your prompt they
establish the key subject and setting
you know instead of a tall building you
could say skyscraper instead of lots of
trees you can say forest to be honest
you can place nouns anywhere in the
prompt but the closer they are to the
front the more powerful they will be in
the sense that mid Journey has
historically favored the beginning of
the prompt more than what appears after
if you're interested in seeing more
examples of words you can use I created
a free PDF for you to download the link
will be in the description below it is a
few pages long and covers the topic of
this video a little more in depth there
are a lot more examples the name of the
next category might be new to you but I
promise you use these words all the time
they're called prepositions and all you
need to know is that the preposition is
a word or phrase that gets placed before
a noun these words are often tiny and
you'll notice them everywhere now words
like at Jimmy crabcakes is sitting at
the bar on a living room made of clay
there is a blue mug on the Shelf these
small words indicate the direction
location or time of an object they can
also introduce an object as in a can of
monsters prepositions are all about
space they establish a spatial relation
between different elements in a scene
these prepositions can be used to place
objects in relation to one another
creating a a sense of depth or
perspective for example a cat beneath
the tree it's going to place the cat in
a specific spatial relation to the tree
unfortunately here I think number two is
the only one that actually worked
although you could argue the cat is
looking up in the other three and maybe
that signifies that it's beneath the
tree either way number two is what we're
looking for prepositions can also
suggest movement or Direction adding a
dynamic element to the scene leaves
drifting across the river implies motion
over time mid Journey version 6 is quite
an impressive tool and it's only going
to continue to grow and evolve over time
meaning you'll almost certainly be
tempted to include more than one
specific subject in your prompt after
establishing the subjects use
prepositions to Define their spatial
relationship creating a sense of place
and Arrangement an old robot leans
against a phone booth or a dog hiding
behind a palm tree I hope what I've been
saying has made sense so far and if
you've learned something new please
leave a like like on this video so we
could share it with more people I need
your help thanks the third category of
words you should know are called
adjectives I'm sure you've heard of
those before and these are really simple
adjectives describe or modify a noun
prepositions show direction or the place
of a noun adjectives describe the look
of the noun visually descriptive
adjectives are going to enhance our
prompt these adjectives can paint a
picture of the physical appearance of an
object like a weathered wooden bench
suggesting age and exposure to elements
they can also evoke emotion or
atmosphere as in a Serene Mountain Lake
beautiful and calm adjectives might
actually have the most weight when
determining the look of your generation
I'm talking the difference between
ornate silverware and minimal silverware
the difference between a colossal sized
rodent and a miniature sized rodent
they're pretty cute adjectives can be
used to define the appearance of
something something like a rustic car
the size or shape of something like a
winding staircase they can be used to
specify the texture or material of
something like a leathery laptop or a
fuzzy laptop I don't I don't think these
turned out very well number two is kind
of funny though color is also a key
adjective you can use Simple colors like
red or blue or you can specify the color
even more with a specific word like an
emerald colored PlayStation 6 pretty
cool mockups you can mention a
collection of colors like a pastel
colored top hat or even a color scheme
like monochromatic colors are really
powerful adjectives once the foundation
of your prompt is set adjectives add
depth and color to your nouns on to
category 4 I think you should be
including adverbs in your prompt we
learned that adjectives describe nouns
adverbs are all about modifying you're
not changing the description you're
specifying it you're going to provide
more detail about the manner in which
something appears in your prompt I'll be
honest a lot of adverbs aren't really
applicable to Mid Journey at the moment
so we are going to narrow our Focus to
one concept emphasis how is something
happening what do you want to emphasize
in your prompt what have you already
said in your prompt that could be helped
with clarification remember I want you
to think emphasis it's a complimentary
action that you're going to be
describing like here the Oreo was dunked
drama ically we're emphasizing that
Splash that we're looking for adverbs
can also refine the qualities described
by our adjectives detective Jimmy
crabcakes contemplates under a single
dimly lit Street Lamp now look you don't
have to explicitly remember the concept
and definition of adverbs but you should
try your best to remember that adding
more descriptive words will probably be
a good thing in the end focus on the how
of your prompt I use the same seed
number for this next example example to
show you the difference the green smoke
is blowing calmly across the field pay
attention to this grid and what you see
here maybe staring at number one might
help the most because look what happens
when we change calmly to violently the
green smoke is blowing violently across
the field same seed all we changed is
the adverb how is the smoke blowing you
might not think that's a big difference
but the fact that there is a difference
means that these words matter to the
generator adverbs are not just about how
something happens they can also refer to
the degree or extent of an attribute a
foreign anthropomorphic alien with
barely any muscles I think number one is
absolutely hilarious I like the pose in
number two as well contrast that with a
foreign anthropomorphic alien with
extremely large muscles the adverb of
extremely describes how much of
something we get in the prompt I would
not want to mess with any of these guys
oh boy remember it's just about
enhancing the description now we're
almost done we're on to the fifth and
final category that last category of
words you need to consider are
references these references can mention
specific Artistic Styles cultural
elements or historical settings that all
add depth and context to a scene it's
all about linking context within the
prompt they can provide a stylistic
framework or aesthetic like detective
Jimmy crab case in the style of art deco
these are so cool that hazy anime Vibe
amazing but references can also give
cultural or historical context something
as simple as a scene reminiscent of
Victorian England I love number one I
think that looks so beautiful it's going
to set a specific time and place along
with the associated cultural norms you
could reference the dichotomy between
time periods like a futuristic Viking
axe and look how cool these are those
are sick likewise maybe an ancient Greek
sniper rifle pretty cool I highly
suggest you consider play placing the
reference near the beginning of the
prompt maybe even the first thing
normally I wouldn't consider this that
important but version six acts a little
funny sometimes so much so that you may
even want to sandwich the references in
your prom mention it at the beginning
and mention it at the end for good
measure now let me show you some
examples of what this process might look
like when you put it all together an
Andy Warhol inspired pop art painting of
a softly luminous mystical Garden the
garden mysteriously grows inside of a
volcano crater radiant bioluminescent
plants among ancient angular rock
formations this was at S400 and C6 so we
might lose a little bit of detail in our
prompt but I don't think you can deny
how beautiful these images are how
visually Rich they are same idea here
look at number three that is just so
gorgeous I I can't believe it like look
at that man like oh oh my God even this
one holy cow now I took took that
prompts foundation and I tweaked it a
little bit here we have an Andy Warhol
inspired pop art painting of a
translucent Temple the temple is
fiercely lit with a vibrant fire inside
there are glossy clouds above the temple
there are radiant bioluminescent plants
spread out around the base of the temple
in between ancient angular rock
formations and look at number one that
is absolutely incredible I can't believe
how well it followed the prompt maybe
not the glossy Cloud's part but maybe
that just wasn't a very good descriptive
phrase I'm more impressed with the
glowing plants in between angular rock
formations the translucent Temple where
we can see a fire lighting it up from
the inside amazing amazing work mid
Journey you are the best this one too is
pretty incredible right this was stylize
40 I think that's so cool remember
there's a free pdf in the description
below if you want some help remembering
which words can flow into each category
of your prompts and if you want to see
the best way to combine these categories
into one prompt I suggest you watch this
video right here I hope this made sense
I hope you're doing well take care and
I'll see you next time peace
