Crafting the perfect prompt for Midjourney or DALL-E can be challenging. With many parameters to customize and tweak your prompt, mastering these tools in-depth takes hundreds of hours.
But here is a simple hack you can try out.
Use AI to help you write the prompt.
Take for example, these images created with Midjourney:
I came up with the idea for this image but asked Claude AI to create the prompt for me:
I need a featured image, i want to create it with Midjourney. I was thinking about a person interacting with a chatbot. The person is talking into a futuristic device, it shows a dotted line up to a cloud, in which a robot / algorithm is answering the questions. It should be a futuristic/sci-fi setting, urban setting? create a midjourney prompt for that
I copied this prompt over, and what I got are the images above.
If I were to use this image on our blog, it would not match the typical style for our featured blog post images:
These do not match the style and color scheme of Fresh van Root.
You can see this gradient everywhere around our page:
So, my goal is simple: I want to create an image that reflects the colors of this gradient. An image reflecting the color scheme of this gradient would do a better job compared to the one Midjourney created with the first prompt.
I am again back in Claude and ask it to analyze the gradient graphic. I want to know the color scheme used in the gradient and an updated Midjourney prompt that creates an image using these colors.
This is what Claude replied:
Then, I took the updated prompt that reflected the changes Claude suggested, and I got the following images:
Now, let us compare the different results:
And how the updated image looks on the blog homepage:
This updated image, which reflects the typical colors used in the gradient file across our site, matches the other pictures better than the initially created AI image.
Next time you use any text-to-image AI creation tool, try to apply your color scheme by providing an image representing your identity and using any AI Chat assistant to write the prompt for you. This hack is a low-key way of lifting the style of any AI-created image.
