Tip 4: Adding Style - Artistic Movement

The reason for this is not that Midjourney is not strong, but that we have given too few instructions, as long as we add a few words to the prompt, we can generate a different logo: the prompt of the four on the left looks like this, I just added two words to the original prompt Pop Art:

What is Pop Art?

Pop Art is an art movement that originated in the 1950s and 1960s. It emphasizes reflection and expression of mass culture, mass media, and consumerism.

The term "pop" comes from "popular art," which was coined by British art critic Lawrence Alloway in 1956.

The characteristics of Pop Art are:

  • Its subject matter generally consists of common objects and images found in everyday life such as advertising slogans, magazine covers, food packaging etc.
  • Bold colors are often used with simple lines to emphasize the visual effect and meaning of the object itself.

The prompt on the right mentions De Stijl

What is De Stijl?

It is a Dutch art movement that began in 1917, dedicated to simplifying visual elements including straight lines, planes and primary colors.

Its members include painters such as Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. Members of De Stijl were committed to integrating art with design to create an aesthetic that was both practical and functional.

The characteristics of De Stijl are:

  • Frequent use of geometric shapes in design, such as rectangles and straight lines.

  • Use of only primary colors for color schemes, such as black, white, gray, red, yellow and blue.

  • Pursuit of balance and harmony while emphasizing form and structure over detail or expressiveness.

After reading this introduction about the movement's characteristics, take another look at Midjourney's logo - can you see the influence?
