MIDJOURNEY and DISCORD

To get you started, Anna will teach you how to create a Midjourney account through the Discord interface. Midjourney is an AI image generator that takes text prompts as input and produces images based on those descriptions through Discord. Discord is a social media platform that focuses on building and fostering online communities and who now has an online platform offering a wide range of artistic styles and tools for image manipulation and collaboration).
USING PROMPTS

Creating an image with Midjourney starts with a “prompt.” A prompt is simply the text or phrase you will use to tell Midjourney what kind of image you want. Midjourney offers a wide range of command prompts and parameters to refine and customize your creations. In this lesson, Anna will demonstrate how to input your prompts to generate images and then how to tweak them. You will be able to create your own designs and mood boards by communicating with Midjourney and with AI in general. Using this tool will help you to create awesome images and in the end will save you lots of time, once you become proficient using Midjourney.
