The prompt
Prompt
A Blue Note-era jazz album cover, a moody black-and-white photograph of a saxophonist half-lit against a bare brick wall, curling cigarette smoke catching a single overhead spotlight, deep shadow on the right half of the face, a blank maroon sidebar panel on the left edge reserved for the title, heavy film grain, high contrast, no text, no letters, no numerals --ar 1:1 --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 1:1 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 768 × 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 1:1, 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.
