What is Graphic Relief SREF style

This distinctive visual style mimics high-contrast screen printing or linocut techniques, characterized by flat, saturated areas of color (here, cobalt blue) against negative space. Forms are simplified into graphic silhouettes, creating a powerful, stylized look reminiscent of modern illustration. To achieve this effect in Midjourney, an effective prompt should combine artistic descriptors like "graphic vector," "duotone," and "block print texture." This approach yields clean, striking images perfect for posters or stylized portraits.

Graphic Relief Prompt Ideas

  • Stylized Mediterranean landscape, bold cobalt blue screen print, textured paper, high contrast, modern illustration
  • Dramatic close-up portrait, high contrast screen print style, bold silhouette, blue and white duotone
  • Minimalist still life of pottery and olives, graphic shapes, heavy ink texture, limited color palette, Matisse influence
  • Abstract pattern inspired by Matisse cut-outs, using only deep blue ink on cream paper, clean edges

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
