How can you compare several visual directions fairly?
Describe one subject and keep the layout the same while varying one detail, such as lighting or illustration style. On the web, you can make variations of an image and download the version you want.
Place the candidates in the same mock page and compare the crop at small size. Keep the message and important details outside the picture.
Who can see what you generate?
Midjourney is open by default. Its current Pro and Mega plans include Stealth Mode, which controls visibility on the Midjourney site. Work in a private location too. Other people in a shared Discord channel can still see the generation even when Stealth is on.
The terms also give Midjourney a continuing license to use inputs and generated assets. For an unreleased project, use a made-up reference unless the upload and the terms fit your team’s rules.
What should you check before using the image in a business?
Midjourney sells subscriptions with allowances such as Fast generation time. The terms require Pro or Mega for companies, or their employees, above US$1 million in annual revenue to own their generated assets under the service terms. Check the current terms and the source material for your intended use.
Keep the approved download and your prompt notes. A downloaded image can move into another editor. Keep the references you had permission to use and record any important edits.
Which candidate belongs in your launch layout?
Use paper thumbnails for a made-up scheduling app. Do not upload a reference, create an account or generate anything.
- Draw two visual directionsSketch one flat illustration and one photographic idea at the same size.
- Check the same detailsCircle where the headline goes and which part stays visible at phone width.
- Record the reasonPick the candidate that keeps the subject readable at both sizes. This compares your brief on paper. Actual outputs remain untested.
