Is AI Replacing Artists? A Website Designer's Perspective on the Impending Revolution

By Nicole Steinmetz

Let's explore how Midjourney works.

The AI model behind Midjourney is trained on vast datasets of existing images, allowing it to learn patterns, styles, and aesthetic preferences.

It's important to note that while Midjourney can generate impressive and visually striking images, the creative process involves a collaboration between the tool and the user.


Use Cases for Midjourney

Brainstorming on what your preferences are

Midjourney opens up a world of endless possibilities for exploring different design ideas. You can effortlessly experiment with various design elements, layouts, and combinations.

The best part?

You get (almost) instant feedback on what works best. However, it's important to remember that Midjourney is a tool, not a design oracle.

Using its suggestions as a starting point, you can add your unique perspective and knowledge of the design principles to elevate your creations.

Combining Midjourney's inspiration with your creative expertise will make your visually appealing results practical and effective.

Avoid Awkward Stock Images

Say goodbye to cringe-worthy stock images and embrace the time-saving treasure trove of AI-generated images—no more digging through piles of visual trash in search of that perfect gem.

With AI-generated photos, you can discover unique and captivating visuals that perfectly align with your content.




More precise Communication with your Designer

Even if your drawing skills are on par with a toddler's finger painting, you can convey an idea to your Designer efficiently and clearly, saving you time and money. Below is a piece we created for a client in Photoshop and Adobe XD that combined three images created by Midjourney. 

In conclusion, MidJourney offers a powerful platform that enables business owners, in conjunction with their design team, to effortlessly create captivating visuals and focus on what truly matters.

While it won't transform you into an artist, it unlocks incredible resourcefulness. With MidJourney, you can explore endless design possibilities, experiment with different elements and layouts, and receive instant feedback on what works best. So, approach Midjourney with an open mind, mindful of the boundaries of each side, and continue exploring the evolving nature of art.
