Midjourney Application Scenario 3: How to write App and Badge Logo Prompt?
You should have more or less copied a few images through your previous studies. If not, I suggest you practice more, on paper.
To summarize a little bit what we have learned:
- The core of writing a prompt is to "describe clearly the image you want", the more detailed the image generated, the more it will meet your requirements.
- The best way to improve your prompt writing skills is to copy someone else's work, then try writing it yourself, and finally look at someone else's prompt.
- To describe the picture clearly, it can be deconstructed from several perspectives:

Starting in this chapter, we'll work on some more complex designs. WatercolorillustrationRelatively speaking, it should be a style that children will prefer.
Let's follow the template we learned earlier and write it step by step:

Picture Book Illustration
I personally feel that picture book illustrations can basically make some not bad illustrations as long as you use Tip 5: Add Style - Artist. I don't read a lot of picture books, but a lot of people should know about Peter Rabbit, so let's try drawing a pair of kittens in a similar style to Peter Rabbit:

She's the author of Peter Rabbit. |
Let's also try the style of Winnie the Pooh illustrator E.H. Shepard (four on the right). As a side note, I didn't include much background information in the prompt in order to make the results more favorable to the author's style:
Behance wind technology illustration
Frankly speaking, this is not a kind of illustration style, but as an Internet industry practitioners, I think this is quite just needed, but need to pay attention to, after my test, as long as in the forefront to add tech illustration can also generate a similar style of illustration, but the effect is more general, when I added behance style (Behance simple understanding is a), it becomes exquisite and beautiful. When I added behance style (Behance is a website for designers to share their works, and the works they share are mostly related to technology products, such as App design, etc.), it became exquisite and beautiful:

The end result:
coloring illustration
The last one I'm going to introduce and I'm not sure if it's an illustration or not, but a lot of you may have seen it before, is one of those coloring illustrations that you can color in with crayons, or water markers. I think it's perfect for kids to generate their own coloring illustrations and then print them out for kids to color. Here is an example of a Tyrannosaurus Rex:
