In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, visuals are key to delivering engaging content. I recently updated the visuals for an upcoming AI presentation using MidJourney’s latest version, which has significantly simplified the image generation process. What made this experience even smoother was my use of the GPT "Midjourney V6.1 - Photorealistic Image Prompts" on ChatGPT to craft prompts that perfectly fit my vision. Here’s how this combination allowed me to create stunning visuals quickly and effectively.
MidJourney’s New User-Friendly Interface
MidJourney’s latest version is a huge leap forward in terms of ease of use. The earlier versions required more technical know-how, with commands like /imagine and manual prompt adjustments. Now, the interface is more intuitive, allowing users to focus on creativity without needing to worry about the technical aspects.
I have used this presentation a few times and in each iteration, I make it a point that all visuals are created via ai. While the evolution of image creation is stunning, I still thought I needed a little help with creating the right prompt. There are so many GPTs on ChatGPT to choose from so I knew I could find one that fit my needs and sure enough (after 4-5 failed tries), I discovered "Midjourney V6.1 - Photorealistic Image Prompts" to help me structure my prompts for MidJourney. This simplified the entire process of creating high-quality images, and the results were incredible.
Crafting the Perfect AI Prompts
Using the GPT, I was able to generate detailed prompts for MidJourney. Here’s how I went down.
First Image: An Ai Beauty
I wanted a visually striking image that represented AI in human form. To craft the prompt, I typed in the GPT's prompt: "A beautiful woman of color robot who represents artificial intelligence."
As simple as that.
Here is the prompt it produced:
"A stunning close-up portrait of a woman of color with robotic features, her skin seamlessly blending with metallic elements, glowing circuits subtly visible beneath, her expression intelligent and serene, set against a futuristic digital background, shot with a Sony A7R IV, 50mm lens, vibrant yet soft colors with a high-tech aesthetic"
Second Image: A Clean, Modern Newsletter
For one of the slides in my presentation, I needed an image that would represent the concept of email marketing in a clean, professional way. I wanted a sleek, contemporary look, so I turned to the GPT to help me refine the prompt.
All I typed was: "Create a newsletter image."
Here is the prompt the GPT produced:
"A top-down shot of a sleek laptop on a modern desk, an open email displaying a well-designed newsletter with bold headlines, subtle graphics, and clean typography, soft natural lighting illuminating the workspace, shot with a Nikon Z7 II, 50mm lens, neutral tones with subtle pops of color for a contemporary feel."
This refined prompt captured exactly what I needed—a polished, minimalist design that reflected the professional yet modern feel I was going for. The result was a stunning visual that aligned perfectly with the tone of my presentation, enhancing the segment on email marketing strategies.
Third Image: A Historical Tribute to Alan Turing
For a historical section of my presentation, I wanted to highlight Alan Turing and his contribution to AI. I needed an image that conveyed a vintage, black-and-white aesthetic to fit the 1950s era while maintaining an air of intellectual gravitas. Once again, I turned to the GPT.
All I typed was: "A black-and-white photo of Alan Turing, with a background of early computer machinery. Overlay text: '1950s: Alan Turing and the Turing Test.'"
Here’s the detailed prompt the GPT produced:
"A black-and-white portrait of Alan Turing, standing in front of early computer machinery with wires and switches, the atmosphere reflecting the 1950s era, Turing gazing thoughtfully as if contemplating his work, subtle lighting emphasizing his features, shot with a Leica Q2, monochrome palette with high contrast, overlay text: '1950s: Alan Turing and the Turing Test.'”
This prompt captured the historical feel and importance of Turing’s work perfectly. The resulting image from MidJourney was a striking black-and-white portrait that fit seamlessly into my presentation’s narrative about the origins of AI.
Final Thoughts
Using MidJourney’s new user-friendly version, combined with the GPT "Midjourney V6.1 - Photorealistic Image Prompts" on ChatGPT, completely transformed the way I approached image creation for my presentation. The GPT helped me structure detailed prompts that brought my vision to life with minimal effort. Whether I needed a futuristic depiction of AI or a historical tribute to a pioneering figure, this tool made the process straightforward and effective.
The combination of MidJourney’s intuitive interface and the GPT’s detailed prompt generation allowed me to focus on the creative aspects of my presentation, ensuring that each image was not only high quality but also aligned with the specific themes I was presenting.
For anyone looking to elevate their visuals, whether for presentations, marketing materials, or creative projects, I highly recommend this pairing. It’s a powerful, efficient way to generate stunning, tailored images in just a few simple steps.
