🔒
11. Control Composition in Midjourney ❌
Control subject placement, foreground, background, negative space, symmetry, and focal points to create more intentional compositions. AI Academy 1U explains how composition affects visual hierarchy and how different layouts can prepare images for thumbnails, advertisements, social posts, and other design applications.
🔒
12. Use Camera Angles and Shot Types ❌
Experiment with close-up, medium shot, full-body, wide shot, top view, low angle, high angle, and over-the-shoulder perspectives. AI Academy 1U demonstrates how changing camera position and framing can communicate different emotions, relationships, scale, and storytelling perspectives without changing the core subject.
🔒
13. Use Lighting and Depth of Field ❌
Control natural light, studio lighting, rim light, soft light, dramatic lighting, focus, and background blur to direct attention within an image. AI Academy 1U shows how lighting and depth of field can separate a subject from its environment and strengthen the intended visual mood.
▶
14. Understand Essential Midjourney Parameters ❌
Understand the role of essential Midjourney parameters and how they differ from descriptive prompt text. AI Academy 1U teaches learners when an output problem should be addressed through a parameter and when the visual instruction itself needs to be rewritten.
🔒
15. Control Aspect Ratio and Image Format ❌
Create square, landscape, and portrait compositions and select appropriate aspect ratios for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, websites, and posters. AI Academy 1U teaches learners to design the image dimensions around the final use from the beginning, reducing unnecessary cropping and reframing later.
🔒
16. Control Creativity and Variation ❌
Experiment with different levels of creativity and variation to understand when Midjourney should remain close to a visual direction and when broader exploration is useful. AI Academy 1U helps learners balance consistency with experimentation when developing concepts and comparing alternative image directions.
🔒
17. Edit AI Images in Midjourney ❌
Improve an existing AI image by identifying what should remain and what should change before generating a revised version. AI Academy 1U teaches a controlled Review → Keep → Modify → Generate → Compare workflow for developing stronger images from promising results.
🔒
18. Change Specific Parts of an Image ❌
Modify clothing, objects, backgrounds, or selected areas while attempting to preserve the rest of the image. AI Academy 1U demonstrates a localized editing workflow and explains the practical challenges of maintaining consistency when AI regenerates only part of a visual.
🔒
19. Expand and Reframe AI Images ❌
Extend the canvas around a subject, create additional environmental space, and adapt an existing image to different compositions. AI Academy 1U shows how reframing can convert one visual into new layouts, including wider compositions and designs with intentional negative space for text.
🔒
20. Create Consistent AI Characters ❌
Define stable character characteristics such as facial features, hairstyle, clothing, colors, and overall visual style. AI Academy 1U teaches learners which identity details should remain consistent across generations so a character remains recognizable instead of becoming a different person in every image.
🔒
21. Create the Same Character in Different Scenes ❌
Place a consistent character in homes, offices, streets, natural environments, and other settings while changing actions, lighting, locations, and camera perspectives. AI Academy 1U develops a workflow for varying the scene while protecting the visual traits that establish character identity.
