Tip 5: Adding Style - Artist

The previous chapter introduced the method of adding art movements to make the generated images more unique.

In this chapter, we will teach you another method, which is to add the name of an artist.

First, it should be noted that Midjourney supports most art movements but relatively few artists.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of netizens, as of March 31st, V4 has known support for over 2,000 artists and V5 has over 100. Among them, only Paul Rand and Saul Bass are listed as logo designers.

Paul designed logos for IBM, EF Education First and NeXT while Saul designed logos for United Airlines and AT&T.

The usage is very simple - just add "by Paul Rand" at the end of your prompt.

letter A logo, lettermark, typography, vector simple, by Paul Rand

Of course, it's not that you can only add logo designers, but it's also interesting to add the names of designers who haven't designed logos before.

For example, I added Piet Cornelies Mondrian to the four pictures on the right, and the third logo has the flavor of Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow.

The second one has a red frame with a black A, which has the flavor of his classic eyewear logo, and I really like it:

Finally, it should be noted that adding the name of an artist may result in the following situations:

Many generated images have a similar style: This is because some artists have very strong signature styles, such as Piet Mondrian whom I really like. If you use his name, you may find that many of the generated images are in the style of Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow.

The generated image does not look like the style of the artist: In my own testing, I found two possibilities.

One is that the model did not learn from this particular artist's work (especially for newer artists who may not be included), and another possibility is that some words in your prompt conflict with this artist's style.

For example, if you use Leonardo da Vinci but describe a Japanese anime girl as your subject.
