Structured directives: paradigms
Picture Quality Words >>
Generally more fixed: masterpiece, masterpiece, best quality, highly detailed, official art, Tyndall effect, fine CG quality, 8K, large wallpaper, etc.. Usually you start with masterpiece, best quality, and then add HDR, UHD, etc. to improve the picture quality.
Artistic style and medium >>
Examples include paintings, pencil drawings or artistic photography, or emphasizing the artist's style. Some personality models have fixed "trigger commands".
Photographic modifiers (Polaroid, Tilt-shift, Portrait)
Style modifiers (Product Shot Product Shot, Color-Splash Color Splicing, Monochrome Monochrome)
Lens modifiers (Telephoto telephoto, Fish-eye fisheye, CCTV monitor image, 800mm, Gopro)
Art Modifiers (Pencil Drawing, Graffiti, Water Colors, Oil Painting)
Pictures of the subject >>
The subject of the composition, complex composition, the existence of the subject exists in a certain medium or environment, for example: hanging on the wall in the frame of the old man's photo, we have to confirm the only subject for refinement, or distribution generation.
--Describe the subject modeling >>
Note that both the whole and the details are described from top to bottom; here is an example of describing a character:
Hairstyles (dorky hair, hair behind the ears, bangs that cover the eyes, low double ponytails, big wavy curls), the
Hair color (blonde at the top, colored picks at the ends).
Clothing (long dresses, cheongsams, half-length sleeves, knee-high socks, indoor shoes).
Head (cat ears, red eyes).
Neck (necklace).
arms (strapless).
Abdomen (belly button visible).
Legs (long legs).
Footsteps (barefoot)
--Describe subject details
For example, expressive expressions for characters are supported using emoji, which are quite expressive. Expressions can be achieved by adding emoji or face characters, such as using 😍 to describe an expression or 🖐 to correct a hand drawing.:-) smiles :-( displeased ;-) give sb. a meaningful look :-D make fun of sb :-P blab :-C It's sad. :-O Surprise. Open your mouth. :-/ skeptical
Describe the composition of the subject
In the case of characters, it's mostly action:
Basic movements (standing, sitting, running, walking, squatting, lying down, kneeling), the
head movements (head tilt, head up, head down).
Hand motions (hands in hair, on chest, hands up).
back movements (stooping, straddling, duck sitting, bowing).
Leg movements (cross-legged stance, second leg, M-shaped open leg, cross-legged, kneeling), the
Compound Moves (Combat Stance, JOJO Stand, Back to Back Stand, Side Flip)
-The general context of the subject
Indoors, outdoors, woods, beach, under the stars, in the sun, what's the weather?

Midjourney V6 Command Paradigm
Midjourney V6 Alpha testing has been initiated. To enable Midjourney V6, it will not automatically update based on the default settings. Therefore, you will need to send a message to the Midjourney Discord server or bot, enter the /settings command, and select V6 from the drop-down menu.Alternatively, you can activate the feature by entering --v 6 at the end of the prompt.
David Holz, founder of Midjourney, has proposed a new approach to hints. v6 is much more sensitive to hints. It is recommended to avoid expressions such as "award-winning, surreal, 4k, 8k" and make sure the request is clear. If you want a more direct, neutral and realistic output, it's best to set --style raw to the default. (The original article is outspoken about descriptions such as 4k, 8k, etc. as "useless" hints.") V6 is very sensitive to your hints. Avoid 'useless' expressions such as 'award-winning, surreal, 4k, 8k'.")
| key constituent | descriptive | typical example |
|---|---|---|
| hairstyle | The style of the image. | Photo of |
| thematic | Describes the subject or object of the image. | An astronaut in a white space suit, helmet visor reflecting stars. |
| contexts | Indicates the background setting of the image, i.e. the location or environment. | Standing on a moon with Earth visible in the starry sky. |
| (art) composition | Explain the arrangement of elements within an image. | Astronaut centered, Earth in the background. |
| (stage) lighting | Describes illumination or light reflection in an image. | Bright sunlight with soft moonlight reflections. |
| Additional information | Provides additional details or information contained in the image. | Moon rocks and small craters nearby. |
In turn, following the above cue structure leads to optimal results. In addition, the most notable features of the system include the ability to render text accurately without blurring, and the ability to finely tune textures and lighting.
Midjourney New Tip Structural Analysis
Midjourney v6 is coming soon and it has a better understanding of prompts. This means no more random phrases and words. We need to adopt a whole new way of creating prompts.
I personally plan to test this simple structure, which reflects the typical language framework:
- Style:
- Purpose: To provide a specific aesthetic or artistic style to an image.
- Details to include: preferred style or era.
- Topics:
- Purpose: To clarify the core focus of the image.
- Details to include: characteristics of the central theme (e.g., people, objects, animals), including appearance, color, and special features.
- Background:
- Purpose: To set the environment or context in which the subject is located.
- Details to include: location (indoor, outdoor, fictional), environmental elements (natural, urban), time of day, and weather conditions.
- Composition:
- Purpose: To determine how the subject and its elements will be presented in the picture.
- Details to include: perspective (close-up, wide angle, overhead), angle, and specific compositional preferences.
- Lights:
- Purpose: To set the mood and visual tone of the image.
- Details to include: lighting type (bright, dim, natural), mood (pleasant, mysterious), and atmospheric effects.
- Additional Information:
- Purpose: To add more layers and depth to the image.
- Details to include: secondary objects, people, animals, and their interrelationships and placement in relation to the subject.
I look forward to testing this structure soon and sharing the results.
