How I Use Midjourney to Create Featured Images for Articles
Generating unique and interesting featured images, you only need a Discord account and a little patience. Here’s how I use the tool.
Generative AI is all the rage right now. There’s a lot of debate over how, when, and if the tools should be used. I’m not inherently against the tools. If people choose to use them, I believe that generative AI should always be cited.
While I’ve only published one article using a language learning model, I use Midjourney to generate all of my featured images. It adds a unique look compared to the dozens of overused stock photos plaguing the internet.
My Writing Community, a perk of subscribing to This Week In Writing, has a #midjourney channel. Over the weekend, I generated this week’s featured image live, with detailed explanations for the community. I captured that explanation here to walk you through my process.
Initial Prompt
To start generating an image, type /imagine and then whatever you want to create. If you've never used Midjourney, you'll be prompted to create an account. This is separate from My Writing Community.
