How to Midjourney for Product Design (Pro Tips!)

Do you have trouble getting MidJourney AI to create consistent, usable product designs? I did too! But after a lot of experimenting I came up with some great ways to get MidJourney to consistently make professional level product designs to design any kind of product you want in any style.
Some links to some other great resources for using Midjourny for product design:

Hi Gray, saw your kind mention of NUS’ videos. I’m the teacher responsible for that class and wanted to say that I really appreciate the shout-out for the students. It means a lot to them and gives them visibility and a sense of real-world validation, which helps make school meaningful and connected to the industry. Thank you, we appreciate you - and have started telling our students about your channel.

Hi Donn! Thanks for leaving a comment! Honestly, the videos your students put out is really high quality and seems to be way more in depth than any other source I can find for AI and Product Design. I've also been telling people about those videos when AI comes up in conversation. Seems like you are running a great program over there. Great job to you and your students :D

Hi Gray, hi Donn, I just saw both of your videos. Great work and also easy to understand. I personally have my head deep in Midjourney for several months. I think it's a great tool for idea brainstorming and form research. It is hard to have a lot of control, but blends work very well. I happen to work in the watch industry and try to use Midjourney for that. I must say it's a lot harder than classical product design. Just as the NUS video describes, watches a made with LOTS of precise details. The industry also follows it own rules.. let's say most watches are not "designer watches".. Midjourney and Dall E where terrible for that some months ago. Now (beginning of 2024) things are a lot better! I happen to spend a lot of time to create images of persons wearing a watch! Not a specific one I designed (impossible for now), but a realistic ones where to insert a watch using Photoshop. I hope soon this can be done by Midjourney! Designing watches works to some extend, but the risk is to get always the same results, or a bit generic ones.. Minimalistic watches are easy.. complex Chronograps (that don't look like existing swiss watches) are much harder. For sure you can get ideas for details, color schemes etc. But to get a final result You must go back to Rhino.. model it out respecting movement and general construction rules and proportions.. And then do some great renderings! I usually use Maxwell Render which is slow, but high quality and unbiased. Perfect for watches and jewellery! For example gold comes out much more realistic than any other software. Keep up with the good work and let's see How AI assisted design will look like in another 6-12 months! Probably we will get full 3D models! 😁

What a detailed review! I think all your points are dead on. For now, it seems it’s not a replacement for classic design work. But it’s fun to play around with and get inspiration. We’ll see where it goes…

Instead of uploading several images and adding them all up with a text prompt you can do a normal blend and after the first creation add a text prompt. Usually I partially describe the images and add what I want to accieve. I'm not sure if the outcome is different, but it works well. Maybe a test run doing both methods could show if it's the same or not..

Great question, I’m not sure. I have the paid subscription now, but I believe I added the bot before? Maybe things have changed since then though…

@13g0la5 11 ай бұрын

It would be interesting to see how mid Journey is incorporated into a real design process. I'm thinking something like, sketches for the initial ideation phase, use mid journey to remix the different designs and then going into cad. I dont like the fact that you're using it to generate ideas, since it has no concept of what a security camera is, what parts it is made out of, etc.

@somegraythings 11 ай бұрын

Yes definitely. But i think what is interesting is that a bunch of the designs you can come up with directly out of midjourney are somewhat feasible given standard components and and sticking to a design direction. I haven’t personally replaced my process with MidJourney yet but I’m trying to stay open to incorporating it.

I enjoyed the video. It seems that companies will hire only a handful of senior designers in the future, and refine and design the drafts from Midjourney. It will be difficult for new designers to enter.
