Introduction

Creating beautiful AI-generated images isn't about luck—it's about understanding how to communicate with Midjourney. While some users struggle with inconsistent results, others consistently produce gallery-worthy images with the right prompt engineering. This guide reveals 7 proven Midjourney prompt structures that deliver exceptional results every time.

Why Most Midjourney Prompts Fail

Before diving into what works, let's understand why most prompts fall short:

1. Lack of specificity - Vague descriptions lead to unpredictable outcomes

2. Style confusion - Mixing incompatible artistic styles

3. Parameter overload - Using too many adjustments that cancel each other out

4. Missing composition elements - Forgetting to specify lighting, angle, and mood

7 Proven Prompt Structures That Work

1. The Perfect Product Shot

How to Customize These Templates

Each prompt structure can be customized by adjusting:

1. Subject elements - The main focus of your image

2. Style modifiers - Artistic influences and techniques

3. Technical parameters - Aspect ratio, quality settings, style weights

Beyond Basic Prompts: Advanced Techniques

Once you've mastered these structures, explore:

1. Negative prompting - Telling Midjourney what to avoid

2. Style mixing - Combining multiple artistic influences

3. Reference images - Using image prompts alongside text
