Talk to me about how we can get amazing images like what you're showing us right now. I'm going to start in either Pinterest or Cosmos and I'm going to create a mood board that is the general vibe of what I want. I wanted to have a very pink and cute, not super girly, very internet kind of coated aesthetic. There's two ways that I usually start. I will either go in with a mood board in Midjourney and you can basically just copy and paste your images in or you can start by adding them as SREFs. SREFs basically are style references. It just tells Midjourney to take the overall style and coloring and camera treatment and vibe and it tells it to apply that. In this part of my process, I'm just trying to get information. I'm trying to figure out what are the images telling AI, what is my prompting telling AI, what's the mood board telling AI. Right here, I just have beautiful female model. I have astronaut. You can see I'm using that mood board here.
