Summary

Creating consistent brand imagery with Midjourney requires a structured five-step process starting with mood boards and style references, then iterating with specific prompts while maintaining visual language consistency. The key is honest evaluation against brand guidelines and using AI tools like ChatGPT to articulate why generated images don't match the target aesthetic.

Key Takeaways

1. Start your AI image generation workflow by creating mood boards on Pinterest or Cosmos to establish visual language, then upload these as style references (SRFs) into Midjourney to guide the model's overall style, coloring, and camera treatment.
2. Use visual mood boards as a primary language tool for LLMs since a picture is worth a thousand words to AI models, allowing you to communicate complex aesthetics without lengthy text descriptions or designer jargon.
3. Critically evaluate generated images against your mood board for consistency in saturation, contrast, and photography treatment rather than accepting standalone good-looking outputs, ensuring brand portfolio coherence across multiple images.
4. When generated images don't match your target aesthetic, use ChatGPT to analyze and articulate the specific visual differences (saturation, contrast, composition) between your mood board and outputs to build design language literacy.
5. Reference specific visual codes like artist names, fashion publications (Vogue), or aesthetic movements in prompts to communicate compressed visual information to Midjourney without requiring lengthy technical descriptions.
