The prompt
Prompt
A cosy crime book cover illustration, a quaint English village green at twilight, a stone church spire in the background, a winding lane with a single overturned bicycle, a knitted scarf caught in the front wheel, warm golden window light from cottages, a soft mist on the ground, a large empty area in the upper third reserved for the title, no text, no letters, no title, hand-painted gouache style with gentle texture, warm muted palette of sage green, butter yellow, and soft burgundy --ar 2:3 --stylize 200How to use this prompt
- 1
Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.
- 2
Set the output to 2:3 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 516 × 768 image on this page.
- 3
Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.
- 4
Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.
Midjourney takes the aspect ratio as a parameter appended to the prompt rather than as a separate control, written as --ar 2:3, and --stylize followed by a number controls how far the model pushes its own aesthetic. Append both to the end of the prompt text instead of looking for fields for them.
