Titles with Midjourney
I’m pretty sure there are not more than 100 people who know how to do this. I have personally seen 1 other person.
Writing text with Midjourney is a secret skill that will leave your clients / friends baffled and amazed.
The uses are quite literally endless from writing a Happy Birthday card, to writing amazing invitation pamphlets, corporate logos, Album Covers, Posters, Cinematic trailers… I think we got the point! Let’s dive right in.
Let me show you how!
The first thing we’ll have to do, is create the clearest version we can get of our desired text.
While using version 3 (by adding —v3) we will be able to stop the image generation at 60% (by adding —stop 60) and thus ensure that the core text is still cohesive before it reaches 100% and starts degrading.
Let’s try out! We will start by writing a prompt like the one below, where you can replace the “The Dor Brothers” of the prompt with anything you’d like to see. For example:
“The Dor Brothers” words, black text, font, black background —v 3 —stop 60
“Happy Birthday” words, black text, font, black background —v 3 —stop 60
“I love AI Art” words, black text, font, black background —v 3 —stop 60
I’ll make an example by using The Dor Brothers as my desired text:
Great! Now you will notice that many of our results are not ideal.
We want to find the clearest and best looking result where our text is perfectly readable.
I personally got a rather useable result in my first go, but it’s still a bit off.
So let me make some normal variations to that image:
Perfect! Now that we got a usable result, we will sharpen out by using (—test and —creative mode)
“The Dor Brothers” words, black text, font, black background —test —creative
Great! At this point there’s a chance that while you ran the sharpening step your text got degraded again.
Don’t worry! In this case simply run it again, make some variations or worst case scenario you’ll have to start over.
Now that we have the text sharpened and slightly upscaled we can get to the fun part - the styling!
At this point you can make a variation of your sharpened image (in this case I used V2 as you can see above) and simply enter the prompt as you would do with any other prompt, and you’ll get your text stylised with any prompt you want!
“The Dor Brothers” in the style of starry night
And here’s what we get:
In case you are confused, let me write the steps here again in an organized text form:
First step is to make the initial titles in a clear and readeable way:
1. “The Dor Brothers” words, black text, font, black background —v 3 —stop 60
Second step is to sharpen the chosen title and make it ready for stylisation
2. “The Dor Brothers” words, black text, font, black background —test —creative
Third step is to apply any style we want onto the sharpened title
3. “The Dor Brothers” in the style of starry night
