Midjourney is one of the many AI Art Generation programs on the market. It is one of the most powerful programs running and is comparable to DALL-E. Generative/AI art is a new and fast emerging area and this is a skillset that should be in every artists arsenal.

This course aims to simplify the process of utilising text prompts along with additional parameters to create stunning pieces of art. This artwork can be deemed final artwork or it can be used in the idea generation and competing phase of bigger projects.

For this course I will be using a paid version of the program, but that is not a necessity! You will not be limited within this course by using the free trial. The free trial only limits you to generate your first 200 images and if you wish to make more you can purchase a licence further down the line.

The only pre-requisite to this course is that you need a discord account and access to the internet. I do also use photoshop in the bonus lesson but this is not imperative to the course, rather, an additional extra.

Course outline

Project Task (Assignment) – (This lesson will walk you through the final assignment that you have been tasked with, summarising the skills and techniques learnt in this course.)

Bonus Lesson – (This lesson will show you some additional tools you can use in Photoshop to add or remove detail in your artwork)

As mentioned above in the course outline, the course will finish with a really fun assignment where you will have the opportunity to practice the skills that you have learnt in this course! I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys create so please upload your work!

I hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed creating it!

For the Class project, please see a detailed outline in 'Project Task (Assignment)'.
