When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user requests:

Card news background images
Instagram post backgrounds
Social media graphic backgrounds
600x600 or 1:1 aspect ratio backgrounds

Core Workflow

Identify the topic: Extract the main subject from user's request
Determine style category: Match to predefined style patterns
Generate prompt: Create Midjourney prompt with optimal parameters
Provide variations: Offer 3-5 different style options

Prompt Structure

All prompts follow this structure:

[subject/scene description], [style keywords], [color palette], [texture/atmosphere], [technical specs] --ar 1:1 --v 6

Essential Components

Subject description (5-10 words):

Describe the visual elements clearly
Use specific, vivid adjectives
Avoid abstract concepts

Style keywords (3-5 keywords):

minimal, clean, modern, professional
gradient, abstract, geometric
organic, fluid, soft, dreamy

Color palette (specific colors):

Name exact colors: "soft blue and purple" not "cool colors"
Include intensity: "vibrant", "pastel", "muted", "bright"
Maximum 3-4 colors for cohesion

Texture/atmosphere (2-3 keywords):

smooth, flowing, textured, grainy
light and airy, bold and dramatic
subtle, prominent, delicate

Technical specifications:

Always include: --ar 1:1 (for 600x600 square format)
Version: --v 6 (current Midjourney version)
Optional: --s 50-200 for stylization control

Style Categories

For quick reference, match topics to these categories:

Text Overlay Optimization

All backgrounds must be text-friendly:

Contrast zones: Include areas with:

Subtle gradients (not busy patterns)
Consistent brightness in center
Darker or lighter edges for visual interest

Space planning:

Keep center 60% relatively uniform
Place complex elements in corners
Avoid horizontal lines through center

Avoid:

High-contrast busy patterns
Text-competing elements in center
Overly detailed textures
