What is Modern Illustration SREF style

Modern Illustration captures a highly polished aesthetic characterized by crisp lines, harmonious color palettes, and simplified yet intentional forms. This look often blends elements of vector graphics with subtle texturing, creating scenes that feel contemporary and clean. When using Midjourney to achieve this style, a specific prompt structure focusing on composition and color theory is crucial to replicate this signature look. This versatile illustration style works well across portraits, landscapes, and object renderings, ensuring high visual appeal in any context.

Modern Illustration Prompt Ideas

  • Cinematic portrait of a young woman with deep curly dark hair, split background in lavender and pale blue, soft directional lighting, hyper-detailed rendering, clean edges
  • Vast, serene landscape with rolling purple hills and distant misty mountains, simplified geometric trees, muted pastel color scheme, flat 2.5D depth, wide angle view
  • Minimalist still life composition: a clear glass vase holding delicate lilac branches and a small plate with a textured purple pear and cut orange, soft ambient light, white shelf
  • Editorial illustration of an astronaut resting on a Martian dune, stylized low-polygon environment, restricted color palette of teal and dusty orange, crisp rendering

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.
