My first contact with Midjourney

A week ago, I had my first conversation with the Midjourney bot on Discord. At first, I felt a bit uneasy because the designers around me had already learned how to use it, but I hadn't started learning yet.

But I am gratified that it only took me 6 hours to use Midjourney skillfully and get dozens of amazing pictures. Next, I will share my real experience of using the most popular artificial intelligence tool "Midjourney".

Firstly, in the early stages of the installation and registration process, there is a great deal of complexity and it takes a considerable amount of time. Secondly, training the robot gradually requires "language sense" and "picture sense", which is the ability to describe vividly what you imagine in your mind. It is recommended to use commas between all English words or phrases.

My Use Experience:

• It will be widely used in film and television concept design, game scene and character design. Its subversive algorithm has made clothing and prop design reach a high level. The disadvantage is that the integration of facial and hand structures is poor. We look forward to the arrival of the V5 version.

• It can eventually be applied to e-commerce design, brand visual design and operation design to reduce modeling and rendering time. However, at an early stage, we need to build a basic product model to achieve the desired effect through "feeding" and "stacking".

• In the field of industrial design, it can provide inspiration for product modeling design. In particular, packaging and packaging container modeling can produce diversified effects in a short time, such as bottle design for perfume/dairy products/beauty cosmetics. It is also possible to design the appearance of the car.

• In the UI/UX design field, you can quickly determine the most effective solution to achieve high-fidelity interface effect. In particular, the data visualization effect in the direction of smart cities, smart logistics, smart water (and other B-end products) exceeded expectations. On the C-side, the HMI interface design provided by Midjourney for the intelligentcockpit is at the top level.

• In the aspect of clothing design, just input the preset style, elements, styles, surface accessories and materials one by one. You will get different modeling effects, providing materials for later design implementation.

• In the field of advertising and marketing, the digital art works produced by AIGC will be widely covered. AIGC can greatly reduce the amount of time and labor costs compared with traditional indoor or outdoor shooting. For example, designers can list the values of light reference, camera position, composition method, surrounding environment, background elements, etc., and the success rate of each image is high.

Now, a week has passed. I used Midjournal to generate hundreds of pictures and won the "Excellence Award" in the group competition yesterday. This really makes me feel very excited.
