The big idea
Midjourney makes some of the most stunning AI images out there. It runs in Discord, which is weird but you get used to it. Paid only, but the free trial lets you test the vibe.
Some examples
Generate concept art for a story
Make a poster for a club event
Visualize a dream you remember
Iterate by varying just one word
Try it!
On Midjourney's free trial or a friend's account, generate the same prompt with three different style words. See how much one word changes the image.
