You are intrigued by the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) platforms but don’t know how they work and how they can help you. Well, you are not alone, as there has been a rapid increase in interest towards AI technologies, especially after the release of ChatGPT3 in Nov 2022. These tools solve complex problems at a mind-blowing pace and can even learn from their mistakes. Whether tech nerds, blue-collar professionals or big businesses, everyone wants a piece of the action. Many are already earning big sums using these AI-powered tools, as the expertise is scarce.
Here, we will share some AI basics. Further, we will show how Midjourney, an AI app, can produce breathtaking image designs that greatly benefit your job/business profiles.
What is an AI prompt?
You communicate with AI using words. Therefore, an AI prompt is simply a set of words instructing an AI model to perform certain tasks in certain ways. You can task ChatGPT using simple prompts like “who is Germany’s head of state?” or instruct it to write a letter in a particular manner. For example, “I want you to write a humorous yet loving letter to my mother, who is in another country and hasn’t seen me in a while”.
Similarly, you can prompt text-to-image AI tools like Midjourney to produce images with different attributes and qualities. Now, we will share some of them with examples.
What is Midjourney, and how it works?
Midjourney is an AI service created and hosted by a San Francisco-based independent research lab Midjourney, Inc. Its first version came in Feb 2022, and the latest, Version 5, was released on 15th March 2023.
Currently, Midjourney is only accessible through a Discord bot on the official Discord server. You can directly message the bot or invite the bot to a third-party server. To generate images, users use the /imagine command and type in a prompt; the bot then returns a set of four images. Users may then choose which images they want to upscale. Midjourney is also working on a web interface.
This video explains the whole subscription process. Free trials aren’t available these days due to the high usage load on servers and the basic subscription starts at $10 per month.

Web Design Layout
You can generate some of the best web design layout concepts using Midjourney. These concepts can help front-end developers in the design process. Like, I wanted a design for my website’s main page, and I used the following prompt :
PROMPT: Stunning web design of a technology content marketing agency, use simplistic styling with white, blue and turquoise as accent colours.
Logo Design
Stuck with the logo design? Use MJ for stunning logo concepts. Just keep changing the prompts; you will see the difference with every iteration. However, it isn’t very efficient when it comes to embedding company names in the logo. For that, we recommend you use conventional tools like Photoshop etc.
Prompt: Logo of a construction company dealing in roads and scrappers, steel grey and silver colours, round or square in shape, 4k, v5
Interior/Exterior Design
MJ produces stellar results when it comes to interior and exterior designs. You can increase the number of your prompt parameters to make outputs more specific to your/your client’s tastes.
Prompt: interior Modern interior design for home, office, interior details, upholstered furniture against the background of a dark classic wall. high-definition photography, dof, bokeh Nikon D610 105mm ƒ/7.1 1/200s ISO 400 Category 16k.
Prompt: a museum designed by Renzo Piano –v 5 –q 2 –s 750
App Design
You can utilize Midjourney effectively for application UI layout design. You can test different colour schemes and even juggle with item placements for better customer interaction.
Prompt: a FinTech money transfer application like Western Union, use yellow and navy blue colours
Product Design
Let’s imagine an eye-catching kitchen blender in your favourite colours. You can do this for anything ranging from helmets to even toothbrushes.
Prompt: kitchen blender design, use light blue colour
Character Design
Character design is essential for any movie or even product marketing. You must create avatars for yourself or the product you are promoting. Midjourney is ideal for conceptualizing.
Prompt: street style photo of the spider-man wearing a golden and platinum costume, medium closeup, side view, natural lighting, shot on Agfa Vista 200 –v 4 –ar 16:9
Scenic imagination
Everybody loves scenic fantasies. Age doesn’t matter in this regard. Midjourney can create scenic heavens with an artful mixture of colours. The results are sometimes unbelievable.
Prompt: In this enchanting Japanese garden painting, mist swirls gently over a tranquil pool where pink cherry blossoms float gracefully. Bonsai trees line the edges, while smooth stones have been placed with artistic precision. A pagoda rests serenely in the background, and an arched pedestrian bridge adds a touch of charm. –ar 16:9

Every writer needs to get their book/ebook cover designed occasionally. This graphic-design AI tool churns out matching cover designs. You have to adjust your prompt parameters accordingly.
Prompt: a book cover for a meditation diary, with 105 meditation prompts specifically for mothers that recently gave birth, the book aims to help the mother to practice awareness and personal growth in times of stress with a new baby
