Recommended Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| --ar (Aspect Ratio) | 7:4 or 2:3 | For book covers, these aspect ratios are crucial. 7:4 (common for e-books and vertical layouts) and 2:3 (standard print book dimensions) ensure your generated image fits the typical rectangular format without awkward cropping, allowing for full bleed designs. |
| --s (Stylize) | 250-750 | Surrealism thrives on distinct visual interpretations. A higher stylize value encourages Midjourney to be more artistic and imaginative in its rendering, pushing the boundaries of realism into the dreamlike or fantastical without losing coherence. Experiment to find the sweet spot for your desired level of abstraction. |
| --q (Quality) | 2 | For detailed book covers, quality is paramount. Setting --q 2 ensures Midjourney spends more time and computational power on generating intricate details, refined textures, and nuanced lighting, which are essential for the complex and often symbolic imagery found in surrealist art. |
| --chaos | 20-60 | Surrealism often involves unexpected juxtapositions and a departure from logical order. Using the --chaos parameter (20-60) can introduce more varied and surprising elements into your generations, fostering truly unique and less predictable surreal compositions, perfect for a genre that celebrates the illogical. |
Pro Tips
- 1Start with a strong central surreal concept: Instead of just 'a dream,' specify 'a melting clock on a desert landscape' or 'a fish swimming through clouds.' The more specific your core surreal element, the better Midjourney can interpret it.
- 2Use strong descriptive adjectives: Employ words like 'ethereal,' 'bizarre,' 'dystopian,' 'whimsical,' 'disquieting,' or 'metamorphosis' to guide Midjourney towards the desired surrealist tone and mood.
- 3Combine unexpected elements: The essence of surrealism is juxtaposition. Try combining two or more seemingly unrelated subjects in your prompt, e.g., 'a human figure made of autumn leaves' or 'a city skyline floating in a giant glass orb.'
- 4Specify lighting and composition for mood: Surrealism often relies on atmosphere. Use 'chiaroscuro lighting,' 'ethereal glow,' 'dramatic shadows,' or 'low-angle perspective' to enhance the mysterious or dreamlike quality of your book cover.
- 5Reference specific surrealist artists or movements: If you have a particular aesthetic in mind, include 'in the style of Salvador Dalí,' 'Magritte-esque,' or 'Dadaist influence' to direct Midjourney towards established visual languages.
