AI Quick Start Guide



Thank you for your interest in learning AI. I enthusiastically helps designers get started using generative artificial intelligence tools to improve your process and client experience. The purpose of this guide is I'll tell you how to set it up and run it using one of the best AI image text tools available today: Midjourney.


Midjourney Setup Guide


01. DOWNLOAD DISCORD

First download Discord and create an account. I recommend using your desktop, but it’s also

available as a mobile app. Download Discord

02. SUBSCRIBE TO MIDJOURNEY

Verify your Discord account via email and then go to Midjourney.com and sign in. You’ll need to pick a

subscription plan. I suggest starting with the $10/month option.

03. JOIN THE MIDJOURNEY SERVER

Open Discord and press the + button at the bottom of the server list on the left side window. In the pop-

up window, click “join a server” at the bottom. Paste: http://discord.gg/midjourney and click “join.”

04. JOIN A NEWBIE CHANNEL

On the left side window scroll down, join any newcomer channel labeled “newbies.” Note these

channels are public and intended for beginners to get started.

05. GENERATE IMAGES USING /IMAGINE

Type /imagine followed by your prompt to begin generating images. See p.4 for prompt ideas to get

started. You can also read more about prompts here: Midjourney Prompts Doc. Be sure to accept the

Terms of Service when it appears.

06. IMAGE PRODUCTION

After submitting your prompt, the Midjourney Bot will generate 4 unique images. Processing time may

vary depending on your subscription plan and settings.

07. VARY OR UPSCALE YOUR IMAGE

Below your 4 images, you will see two rows. Use the top row “U1, U2, U3, U4” to upgrade your image and

the bottom row “V1, V2, V3, V4” to vary your image. See chart as a reference for how the images are numbered.

08. EDIT YOUR IMAGE

After upgrading an image, you will see expanded options below the upgrade dimage to revise it

further. Explore with expanding, panning and varying by region.

09. SAVE YOUR IMAGE

Click on your image to open it and then right click to save it.

10. SHARE YOUR CREATIONS

I’d love to see what you create! Upload your image to Instagram and tag me to be featured on my page
