What is Graphic Relief SREF style

This style is characterized by strong, graphic outlines, bold blocks of color, and visible texture that mimics relief printing techniques like woodcuts or linocuts. Images generated in this manner often feature high contrast and a simplified, yet impactful composition, reminiscent of early 20th-century printmaking merged with modern design principles. When crafting a prompt for this aesthetic in Midjourney, specifying the texture and the reliance on flat color planes is key. It produces striking results for portraits, landscapes, and still life compositions, favoring bold visual statements over subtle gradients.

Graphic Relief Prompt Ideas

  • A sprawling, serene Japanese landscape with stylized pine trees and contoured hills, deep greens and reds, modern woodcut illustration
  • Still life featuring a black cast iron teapot and vibrant citrus fruits, thick outlines, bold color fields, highly detailed texture
  • Futuristic city scene viewed from above, dense geometric patterns, heavy black linework, color palette inspired by early 20th-century printmaking

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?
