Hi, this is Anne with Graphic Design How To, and today I'm going to show you how to use Mid-Journey
AI in Discord to create artificial intelligence artwork. So, what is Mid-Journey AI? It is a way
that you can type in a prompt, and this software will actually create artwork based on what you
typed in. Right now, you have to use a kind of chat room called Discord in order to use this
software, and it's not very intuitive. So, that's what I'm going to show you how to do today. All
right, let's get started. [Music]
Okay, so first we'll head over to midjourney.com, and then we'll choose "Join the Beta." And this
will take us to Discord. And so here, you'll need to click "Accept Invite." And if you don't already
have a username and password for Discord, you'll need to set one up. And I'll just put my name in
there. You'll have to do the little "I am human" thing. You'll have to put in your date of birth,
which I'll just randomly put something in here. Then you'll need to enter your email and password,
and you'll claim your account. Now, I already have a Discord, so I've signed in.
You'll want to make sure you're on Mid-Journey, which is this little icon right over here. Next,
go to this section here and scroll down to "newbies123" or any of these other "newbies"
rooms. These are like chat rooms if you're from the old school like me. Basically, you can just
chat with people in here and that kind of thing. Now, at the bottom right here, you'll want to type
"/imagine," and this is the slash that's right on the same key as a question mark. Then when
you hit the space bar, you'll get the little prompt. At that point, you can type any word,
and it'll ask you to accept their terms, so you'll need to do that. So, for the prompt, I'm just
going to enter "silver ball floating in a blue sky with dystopian background, very realistic." And
this is just to give you an idea of the types of things that you can type into your prompt to get
artwork. I'm going to hit enter or return here. I can see it's sending the command, and you'll
see it kind of make the images as it goes here. It'll show you how much is done. It takes about a
minute, and you'll probably have to scroll back up because everybody else is also making images too.
So, this turned out really interesting. I'm going to click on this one and choose "Open Original."
So, I didn't really think it was going to give me this kind of result, but I'm really loving it.
I've got a kind of dystopian city reflecting off of my silver ball,
so that is really cool. That happened in two of them, and in this one,
it kind of looks like the ball itself is a little dystopian. And this one,
I'm not crazy about, but obviously, I've got these three other options that are really great.
Okay, I'm going to go back to the Discord, and now there are these buttons down here. These mean
"upscales" and "variations." So, you can click one of these and get four different results. So,
I'm going to try V2. You'll have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see your variations,
and then you can click "See the results." And this has given us
four different variations of that original ball. So yeah, it's really realistic and really cool,
and would be a great help if you're trying to think of, you know, a painting idea or something
like that. All right, I wanted to keep this video super short just so you could get started,
but there are a couple of things to know about Mid-Journey. What I showed you today is a free
version, and you cannot use free version images commercially. If you want to use these images to
sell, you need to get a premium license with Mid-Journey AI. You can use the free version
images for personal use, so if you wanted to make yourself a t-shirt or something,
but no selling. Another thing to think about is whenever you're in Discord entering your prompts,
just keep in mind that everyone else in Discord can see what you entered too and see the artwork
that you created. So you might not want to enter anything too crazy or something that
would compromise your privacy. All right, I hope you like this video, and if you want to
see more videos like this, just hit the Subscribe button and the little bell next to it, and you'll
be notified every time a new video comes out. All right, I'll see you in the next video. Thank you!!
