What is Retro Graphics SREF style

This style captures the vibrant, high-saturation graphic design trends prevalent in printed media from the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by bold color blocking, high contrast ratios, and often features photography integrated with stark geometric overlays. When generating images in **Midjourney**, this aesthetic results in eye-catching, nostalgic visuals reminiscent of classic album covers or tear-out posters. Experimenting with specific color combinations in your **prompt** can maximize the impact of this energetic visual language.

  • A retro-futuristic city skyline composed of luminous circuit board lines and vibrant neon curves on a black background, detailed graphic design

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.
