Lesson 5 of 8 · Midjourney Starter: From First Prompt to Better Art
In this lesson. Know what you can ship and when to use your own references.
What you will learn
- Likeness and trademarks
- Your own references
- Choosing among options
Walkthrough
You will review the practical issues: likeness, trademarks, and using your own moodboards. Taste is choosing among options, not generating 200 and hoping. This lesson is judgment plus a light legal awareness, not legal advice.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Midjourney Starter: From First Prompt to Better Art is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Build a tiny moodboard of three allowed references and write a prompt that uses them without naming a living artist.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
