Midjourney Prompts for Book Covers (+ Prompt Examples)

It's not easy to create art for book covers, but Midjourney can help with that or at least point you in the right direction.

Written by: Milan K

Published on: June 25, 2023

It's not easy to create art for book covers. You have to grab the attention of potential readers with a single image. That's why it's necessary to hire a good designer for book covers.

If you're a designer who has worked on book covers before, you already know that you might need to go through countless iterations of your design until you have a satisfied client. This requires a lot of time.

Using Midjourney to generate design drafts can help you be more productive, keep your clients happy, and save you a considerable amount of time. Today, I'm going to show you some prompt examples for book covers.

How to Write Midjourney Prompts for Book Covers

It's quite simple to write Midjourney prompts for book covers. The technique I find works best is to simply explain what the book is about in a concise way. You should also mention the genre whenever it can have an impact on the generated design.

As far as the aspect ratio goes, I like to leave it on default when I'm creating book cover designs.

Make sure you use keywords in your prompts whenever it makes sense to do so. The keywords you use will greatly influence the overall design of the book cover.

Before we get down to the prompt examples, I have to say that at the time of writing this article there isn't a feature that enables you to edit text in Midjourney. They are planning to release it in the future, but for now you'll only see random symbols generated instead of actual text.

It may seem weird to some people to look at book covers with random symbols, but remember that when you use Midjourney to create these images they should serve only as inspiration for the actual book cover you'll design .

10 Midjourney Prompts for Book Covers

I'll show you how to effortlessly write Midjourney prompts for book covers. You will pick up on what I'm doing through the 10 prompts that I'll share below. Let's start.

/imagine book cover design for a fantasy book set in a magical land where the battle for peace an order in the world has been going on for centuries, monsters, magic, undead, heroes, warriors --v 5

Now, this is what a good book cover looks like. I'm really impressed with the design here. The prompt is also quite concise and includes important keywords that shape the design of the book cover.

/imagine book cover design for a digital marketing book, online marketing, social media marketing, SEO marketing, affiliate marketing --v 5

I decided to use a very simple prompt here that consists of only several keywords. Digital marketing books are widely popular and often vary in the design of their book covers, so it was definitely interesting to see what Midjourney would generate as a cover.

I would say that the AI model did a pretty good job. The hands definitely look a bit weird, but this is only a draft design. You'd need a marketing expert/author to pose like this for the actual book cover.

/imagine book cover design for a crime mystery novel, man who is wrongly convicted of murder quietly learns about the criminal underworld while in prison and gets out seemingly a good man but what people don't know is that he is about to commit some terrible crimes

This is a completely different type of prompt compared to the previous one. Instead of using keywords, I only described what this fictitious book is about. The plot is something that just came to me when I started writing the prompt.

/imagine book cover design for an astrophysics and astronomy book, the cover design should feature illustrations of some phenomena in the universe, wondrous, awe --v 5

One of my favorite books of all time is A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I wanted to create a book cover in Midjourney that could be applied to that very same book.

/imagine book cover design for an adventure book about a young explorer who has gone to the North Pole to retrieve a long lost treasure that has been buried for thousands of years --v 5

I would really like to read a book like this. Imagine if there was treasure buried beneath the ice by a forgotten civilization at the North Pole that's been there for thousands of years. That would be absolutely mindblowing.

/imagine book cover design for a science fiction novel about two planets on a collision course, the planets will ultimately destroy each other so people on both worlds must find a way to enjoy their lives before it's all over --v 5

Should I start writing books? I came up with these plots at a moment's notice. I don't even know how my brain does it. This would also be a fun movie to watch. It can be either a serious, introspective book or a comedy where people let loose and party until their last days.

/imagine book cover design for a science fiction book about a dystopian future where artificial intelligence has taken over the world and humans must band together to survive --v 5

No, I don't think that artificial intelligence will take over the world. This is only a work of fiction and I thought the prompt would help create a dramatic book cover, which it definitely did. If I saw this cover at a bookstore, I'd buy it immediately.

/imagine book cover design for a travel book that talks about some of the most beautiful natural landscapes around the world, inspirational, motivational, travel --v 5

The two stones on the table are such a random addition to the image, but the overall book cover design is extraordinary. I love books that contain beautiful photography.

By the way, you can create photorealistic images of nature in Midjourney. If you want to learn how I suggest you read my article about Midjourney prompts for nature . It's an easy-to-follow guide that will help you learn how to write the perfect prompts for generating photorealistic images.

/imagine book cover design for a romance novel about two college students who fall in love together and go on various wholesome adventures --v 5

I wanted to create something wholesome, so I figured it makes sense to generate a book cover design for a romance novel. The prompt here is so simple that I didn't even go into any details aside from mentioning that the two people are college students.

/imagine book cover design for a time travel fiction book about a man who thinks he created a machine that enables him to travel to alternate universes only to find out that he actually made a time travel machine --v 5

I'm not sure whether someone wrote a book with a similar plot already or not, but if one exists I have to find it. This would be an amazing read, and the experience would be even better with a book cover design like the one above. This is arguably the best book cover design Midjourney generated while I was writing this article .

Final Thoughts

What's incredible is that Midjourney will in most cases create a great design for your book regardless of what it's about. I'm continuously impressed by this text-to-image AI model.

I've seen many people experiment with designing book and album covers in Midjourney, and I have no doubt that this practice will become even more popular when the team behind the AI model releases a tool for editing text.

The 103 Best Book Covers of 2022

As chosen by our favorite book cover designers.

For what is now the seventh time in a row, I am pleased to present the best book covers of the year—as chosen by some of the industry’s best book cover designers.

This year, I asked 31 designers to share their favorite covers of the year, and they came back with a grand total of 103 covers, representing work by 62 different designers for 54 different imprints. Their choices, and their comments, are below.

But first . . . the stats.

The full list:

I can’t stop looking at this eye-bending collage. Love how the hectic, unsettled type complements the art, channels the title really well, and manages to get quite a lot of copy onto the cover. Neon orange is a great touch.

– Jamie Stafford-Hill

This is such a fun cover. I love the brain-like cutout and the playful, head-smashing type treatment.

– June Park

This cover looks like its title; smashed yet whole.

– Stephanie Ross

How? What? It’s insane. I love it.

Alex has somehow woven together two images with a shape that isn’t exactly conventional and set the type playfully without making the whole thing look like a messy plate of spaghetti. He is in complete control of his craft.

– Linda Huang

Alex! I want to keep staring at your collage to see how you did this.

– Mark Abrams

When I first saw this I was blown away by Linda’s use of color, texture, negative space, and the delicately balanced typography and illustration. The jacket is printed on a lithofoil stock that gives it that extra special sheen. Not only did the author win the NBA for fiction, but she was also given one of the most beautiful covers of the year.

– Emily Mahon

These bright colors suck me in when viewed in RGB, and the design gets “even better” when experienced IRL, printed on that lovely metallic paper.

– Zoe Norvell

I am instantly pulled in by the bright colors and symbolic design. I want this as an art print on my wall.

– Sarah Brody

It’s always nice to see special effects being used thoughtfully. That gradient plus shimmer is beautiful.

– Joan Wong

“Shot through the heart and you’re to blame” taken literally.

– Erik Carter

This cover just stands out so much online and on the shelf. The bold composition + foil + soft touch, it’s a stunner.

Na is such a talent in both design and illustration. This cover really shows how skilled she is in both worlds.

Valleyesque received a well deserved gasp from me. With a palette and style that connects you to some of the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and in a similar fashion, begs you to look closer at the tiny details and intrigues you to want to learn more.

– Nicole Caputo

If I could dictate the visual language of my dreams, this is what I would choose every single time (complete with banner-wielding poodles).

– Alison Forner

I truly cannot get over this surreal, incredible art.

– Lauren Peters-Collaer

Every element in this dreamlike painting is treated with such balance and thought, creating deep intrigue.

Thrust is perfection. Each collaged detail feels like it belongs exactly where it is. The combination of textures, styles, the two contrasting typefaces sent me marching to the store.

This design is bonkers in the best way possible. Every moment here, from the image to the typography, is fresh and unexpected.

I have no idea what is happening and I love it.

– Grace Han

Such a fun and intriguing collage with a ton of upward momentum. Somehow the clashing typography adds to that sense of kinetic energy too.

– Vivian Lopez Rowe

I love how the upside down balloons look like raindrops or tears. Really fantastic cover design made to look really easy.

– Jamie Keenan

Such wonderful simplicity. Each time I look at it I can sense my brain processing it all—everything clicking into place with delight. As an aside, I highly recommend everyone watch a hot air balloon inflate at least once in their life. They are like dinosaurs roaming the sky.

– Lauren Harms

Effortlessly beautiful and dreamlike.

The simple move of turning an image upside down is so powerful here, especially paired with the title.

Great design, though I spotted a printer error; the photo is upside down. Awkward.

Such a beauty! The pressed flowers with the gold foil type is so sweet and lovely. A true object to treasure.

– Kelly Winton

Simply beautiful.

These made me shriek. Exquisitely executed, ethereal, and clever, they exist in the realm of fine art. Pablo makes everyone jealous.

Printed on uncoated stock with deboss on the type, I want this book just for the beautiful jacket. Holly is an amazing designer and illustrator, and this is my favorite cover of the year from the UK.

This stunning cover reimagines the subject of Joan of Arc in such a powerful way. The type and colors are so unexpected and pack such a bold punch.

– Kimberly Glyder

Ah the colours…they are glorious. It’s very satisfying when type works as an image within a cover; it’s such a pleasing composition, a real beauty, as are all of Holly’s designs.

– Anna Morrison

The colors are stunning—feels energizing to just look at! It captures the spirit of Joan of Arc in such a fresh and dynamic way.

I couldn’t work out if it was a contemporary artwork or an old painting, whether the person is unhinged or if it is just the crop playing tricks on me. It’s so engrossing, and sets the tone for what sounds like a mad book without giving anything away.

– Tom Etherington

The reviews of this book all use words like “bizarre”, “unsettling”, “disturbing” or “challenging”—they could be reviewing the cover too. “Brilliant.”

The power of a great crop! It’s so effectively unsettling and compelling.

The cropping and lettering is perfection.

– Jaya Miceli

The simplicity in this is striking. Perfect example of less is more.

So simple, elegant, and perfect.

Stephanie takes what would otherwise be a clichéd icon and subverts it with that slight grimace. The placement in the mass of negative space and the choice of a rough-hewn serif elicit in me a feeling of mono no aware , something design rarely does.

Looking easy is very hard.

– Gregg Kulick

You can almost smell this cover. Amazing.

So vibrant! This cover hits all the senses! (Get your hands on a copy for the glowing color, glossy finish, and raised type!)

– Ann Kirchner

Just so brilliantly executed.

– Luke Bird

The distorted type is perfect. It feels like you’re suffocating in a bag of oranges and need to get out.

Simple. Clever. Ominous.

Just the sight of that spinning wheel makes me feel slightly anxious (it seems to move now and again, too). This is such a simple cover, but with such a lot going on.

I just stare at it waiting for the cover to load… Well played…

– David Litman

There is always a tension you have to interrogate as to how you want to communicate the title of a book. What Na Kim did with this cover was take one of the most direct routes possible while still leaving room for ambiguity with the shape and placement of Ellsworth Kelly’s art. No small feat for a title this simple.

The simplicity and minimalism of this design is so satisfying.

I love the way the green blob almost seems like a monster overtaking the title, and the way it just barely overlaps with the “L” in “NOVEL” is perfection.

– Colleen Reinhart

It’s so elegantly done. Ellsworth Kelly’s Green crowding out the text on the cover somehow feels exactly like the book does; a crowded petri dish of emotions.

Euurgh its just SO beautiful. Perfection. But what else would you expect from Na Kim? I don’t just want to read it… I want it on my wall too.

Love how all the elements interact with each other.

Na is great at creating simple yet emotive covers. The mix of the Audubon-esque art and the graphic sun gives this cover a nice contemporary yet elegant look.

Gorgeous. There’s something about a goose neck.

I can’t imagine what those burning eyes saw. The type on fire and mouth slightly open seals the deal for this one.

– Stephen Brayda

Crazy! Love it.

Frantic to the max and I just love looking at this. Its also worth nothing that getting this to print so vibrantly was no small challenge.

I was so relieved to realize this beautiful book was published in early January, and that I could include it on this list! It was an instant favorite of mine—the balance of pattern, color, and texture is just perfect. The elements work well on their own and come together in a wonderful whole.

LPC does it again! Everything about this cover is incredible: the colors, the collage of imagery, the typography! It’s nuanced and packs a punch at the same time.

– Laywan Kwan

I think this one took everyone’s breath away when it came out—the colors, the type, it all works beautifully together.

The solo tear drop is a perfect device to hold the requisite “memoir” type, elevating this simple biography cover to something double-take worthy.

Mean Baby just keeps creeping into my mind. A fantastic crop of the image and combination of photo, title and that subtitle placement! Simple, eye catching and jumped off screens and shelves and is memorable.

Designing celebrity books can be hard, and making something that stands out is even harder. There are so many parts that are involved and getting to a place that is so elegant and interesting is a feat.

Beautiful arrangement of type and imagery. The design has an ethereal quality and love how the structured grid interacts with the gradient watercolors.

Immediately draws you in! I love everything about this, the way the type seemingly moves through the squares, the holographic quality, the various water textures.

So much energy and movement captured within a grid—I could puzzle over these tiles for hours.

Such a simple design, yet so incredibly unnerving—it’s a design you can almost hear. Perfectly captures a break with reality.

So elegantly illustrates a book about those who occupy the “psychic hinterlands, the outer edges of human experience, where language tends to fail.”

Deceptively simple, really effective.

Love how Linda utilizes the type here, the way the bold flat title sits against the textural photographic background. I find myself wanting to “look around” to see what’s hiding behind it. The bits of aliasing on the title is a lovely cherry on the top touch.

The title stretched into the black shapes is brilliant.

– Jenny Carrow

I’m a sucker for letters as shapes and in this case it really works with the title.

UK publishers seem to have had a crisis of confidence recently, a lot of books seem to have three endorsements on the front cover now and all type at 72pts. Sometimes it feels like on this side of the Atlantic we have forgotten that books are physical objects that people covet, rather than a jpeg that needs to shout louder than everything else around it. When I first saw Brother Alive in a bookshop it stood out against the other books because of its bold, understated cover design.

So bloody simple and ambiguous—I have no idea what it is about, but that cover is just drawing me in. I love how Jo has pulled everything back to an abstract image, and the type is perfectly balanced. Jo is one of my favourite cover designers, she just nails it every time.

Love the allusion to sheet music and the consistency of the line weight throughout. The art really works here; haunting and unexpected.

Ethereal mushrooms floating through the air against a scale that seamlessly integrate with the type: 😘

Another Janet cover, Sedating Elaine must be mentioned. You can tell the inside will be darkly comedic and a wild ride and I even love the combination of the quote typeface combined with the roughly hand-lettering across the banana.

Every year, Janet’s work stands out for its beautiful simplicity. She takes something familiar, like lettering on a piece of fruit, and somehow makes it look better than ever.

This ominous and frankly sad painting paired with the electric blue text feels both classic and edgy.

Unsettling and striking image with brilliant type.

A gorgeous and thoughtful design. The collage so elegantly captures the power of language and communication.

There’s a satisfying simplicity to this cover; all the elements are arranged so elegantly.

The illustration with this title packs so much emotion.

I love the gestural quality and simplicity of the illustration. The thin, italicized type is such an excellent choice in mimicking the slender, linear feel of the art.

Love the drama happening here. Beautiful type and illustration. As off-beat as the classic Geek Love jacket while doing its own thing entirely.

It’s no easy feat to make a long title like this work so elegantly, but this cover pulls it off. The silhouetted hand is simple at first glance, but the nail illustrations and hand position (hitting the author’s name ever so slightly), bring a beautiful complexity.

A hand cover, but a fantastic hand cover. Adore the little scenes painted on fingernails.

Such a bright and fresh look! The colors are stunning—super saturated and bold, both on screen and in print. And the line quality of the illustration has a beautiful personality. I especially love the bits of color bleed and overprinting.

Nostalgic but with a really modern, vibrant palette. Balanced beautifully. Looks even better in the flesh that it does on screen.

This cover doesn’t even need the title to convey disorientation. The waffle-wrapped-hot dog is such a weird and especially disorienting touch.

Brilliant design—so much movement and energy that come across using just type as image.

Mind-bending in the best possible way.

Beautiful and rich, and very clever in its layers of illusion.

– Allison Saltzman

Beautiful execution of this concept. And upside down type! and it works! Give Derek a big hand (sorry).

I love the creative usage of all the different fonts on this cover. It really taps into my inner child of the ’80s!

So playful and well done.

The type on this is mesmerizing. The stacked, repeating type with the rainbow gradient fits perfectly with the title.

I wasn’t quite sure what to think when I saw this for the first time, but it stayed with me. Now that I caught up with it, I love it!

Outer space salami statue.

I don’t know what this book is about, other than being darkly comic and featuring a diabolical nun, but the cover makes me want to read it.

There’s something so unsettling about the reduced palette and diseased looking dots combined with the loaded religious imagery. It really pulls you in, without resorting to anything heavy-handed or “easy.”

I love the saturated color palette and the dimensionality of the type. This design gives such a sense of place. And the title font choice is amazing!

I honestly can not stop looking at this because every element works so perfectly together to create such a specific atmosphere and setting, it’s a really well-crafted cover!

Exquisite typography and execution. Having the candy beautifully photographed really takes this to the next level.

While the image does clearly depict the title (which could work against a designer), the inverted photo and silhouetted head, the limited palette, and the gorgeous hand lettering make this cover so appealing.

The tactile, handmade quality of the cover and the domestic scene contrasts beautifully with the “cold people” evoked in the title.

I love the unique perspective here—it feels as if you’re flying with the figure, diving head-first into that neighborhood. I had an almost visceral response to this illustration; I felt connected to the character without even opening the book.

I’ve long admired the work of both Gabriele and Cecilia so to see a collaboration on the always thoughtfully designed poetry society chapbooks was a treat. This one is my favorite.

This type creates within me a sort of effervescent joy.

Smart and succinct pairing of subject and graphics.

Surreal, simple and smart, and the stones are the perfect subtle addition.

Very clever.

I’m getting nuanced, Lisa Frank vibes and that is high praise.

Op-art! Very satisfying.

Perfect match of art and lettering, inventive layout, great use of color.

There are a lot of things that I love about this cover, but I’ll just say this: We rarely see book covers that embrace the color purple and this one does it oh, so well!

Less is more with Teenager . My eye travels down the highway right to the sun, the perfectly placed eye of the teenage face.

A refreshingly light approach to historical fiction.

This is a standout for me. I would notice it from across the room. A very original layout with a unique color palette, and those thick, black lines holding it all together.

Powerful, elegant, and haunting.

Am drawn immediately into this cover, an eerie porthole into fraying world.

Kudos to Amanda for taking something that is so reviled (yuck, pimples!) and for displaying them in such a cute way. This design is so inviting.

Books about music have to look authentic and this does such a good job.

The best “torn paper cover” ever. Clever concept. I know the designer worked with physical pieces of paper and scanned them in, and it really shows.

A complicated and abstract subject—care—visualized in an equally abstract but simple form.

Something about the strange, soft, almost tactile illustration draws and holds the eye. Just lovely to look at, perfectly balanced with interesting but understated type, and I love how the arm wraps around onto the spine.

It takes a mind like Pablo’s and an open-minded publisher/art director to marry Jon Han’s incredible style with a nonfiction book and it works so so well.

The pairing of this typography with the artwork by Hollie Chastain is perfect and elegant.

Succinct and clever, which is hard to do. I love the simplicity of the design and how it interacts perfectly with the title.

This cover achieves a monumental, iconic feel with such economy—it’s magic.

Love how all of the elements are tied together with the blue circles. It has a big book look, but is also very artistic and elegant.

Maybe it’s the amount of time I’ve spent with the words “bestselling author” talking, but this is hilarious and inspired.

This retro cover is as eye-catching as the title, it will stand out on any bookshelf.

Bold colours, small type, unusual composition and Vivian Maier photographs. What’s not to love about these covers?

I love the color and the texture and that it sets a mood.

The illustration on this cover is so interesting. From a distance, it looks like an abstract cover of lines and color, but upon closer inspection you can see all the different scenes and couples!

This cover contains so much elegance, power and dignity, for a subject matter that could be difficult to illustrate. Michael Salu has created such a moving cover with the simplest of designs.

The type frame is so effective here. Everything just comes together perfectly.

When I first saw this cover it stopped me in my tracks—so intriguing. I love the textures, composition, colours; the eye just draws you in. The author line going up the side is genius, so unexpected. To create such an atmosphere within such a small space is a real gift.

One of the blurbers calls this book “ an ingenious pocket universe ,” which could describe the cover itself: a small package that locks you in its orbit—you can’t help but trace that fascinating lettering round and round!

I love the noise and fuzziness of the image, especially on the print edition where it’s amplified by lithofoil. The texture gives a sense of static and uncertainty before you even begin to read. A beautiful example of a darker image, and smaller type, standing out on shelves.

You would think seeing raw meat on a book cover would be offputting… but it really works here: meat as type! I love it.

Such a perfect—and totally intriguing—marriage of art, type, and title.

Oliver Munday summons up the spirit of Henryk Tomaszewski in this cover. Love it.

I adore Simone Noronha’s playful illustration and the way title treatment really lets the artwork shine.

This is such a powerful and direct image. The modern type beautifully frames the scene but doesn’t distract. I love that it’s all in black and white—the starkness and her gaze say so much.

With its pitch-perfect palette and bold, confident shapes, this cover just about leapt from the display table!

There’s just something magical about this beautiful blend of type, image, and idea.

This is my cover of the year—it literally sings in the bookshop, so striking! The illustration grabs your attention. The rest of the book is beautifully designed too, the end papers are gorgeous. I love it, just wonderful.

Love the simple line quality of this illustration and all its crooked crumbling pieces on the perfectly selected uncoated stock.

Amazing optical illusion created by beautifully set type, on rainbow holographic foil. Really nice.

Beautiful and restrained use of collaging to deliver a power image.

Such an ingenious way of integrating a woman’s profile into the scene.

Nobody Gets Out Alive looks straightforward, but again the small thoughtful details within the illustration, that are hidden so well by the gradient, are a smart, provocative but subtle easter egg for the viewer.

The usage of panels, color, and collage is so playful on this cover! Who knew you could make history look so fun and interesting?

Such a funny, crude doodle that looks like something Willem de Kooning would have sketched. I love that this illustration was printed on a commercial book cover.

Somehow the title and illustration don’t feel like they are competing, instead they work together seamlessly in this instantly iconic package.

A cross-stitch that’s unlike any other cross-stitch I’ve seen.

So punchy and eye-catching! The pink dripping dot gives the cover an intriguing sinister edge.

This design and golf vibes!

The plane and clouds float effortlessly against a wall of type that’s barely standing. So much energy packed into a small space—it feels like it’s vibrating and barely contained.

I want to run around inside this cover—the movement and dynamism are masterful.

I love the use of color, and yes! more cleverly incorporated profiles!

What a lovely way to work in the fifty-five panels. The diver makes you feel like you could dip in and out of these stories at any time.

Always envious when a designer can get away with so little, especially when the cover relies on so few bells and whistles: a strong yet refined typeface and unconventional spacing. This would be strong even without the empty circle. Pure graphic design.

Would like to come up with something wise here but I fear it might in truth boil down to “lolz I like ostriches.” In any case, one of best ostrich covers I have ever seen.

Love the balance and symmetry.

This feels very LA. I love the clever mix of typography and how the clear division on the strip mall sign implies the themes of the book in a really graceful and attention grabbing way.

What’s not to love?!

This cover is perhaps not as sophisticated as some of its more highbrow colleagues from the world of letters, but it communicates its startling content with admirable zest.

How to make a book cover with Midjourney and Canva

Update: If you like Midjourney, but don’t like the price tag, check out this article: 5 best free alternatives to Midjourney for writers who need marketing or cover images . Also, if you want a little bit more space around the main elements in your image, for, say, the book title or author name, you can now zoom out. Check out my tutorial on the new zoom out function here .

Last night, I recorded a video with MetaStellar community members, artists and interview show hosts Andrea Goyan and E.E. King — both of whom are also speculative fiction writers. We talked about how to generate images with the Midjourney app. Midjourney is one of several new tools where AI generates images for you . You can read my review of Midjourney here . And you can see examples of 28 covers I made with Midjourney and Canva here .

The first 25 images are free, which is enough to get a taste of the tool. But to really make use of it, you should sign up for the $30 per month plan and switch to “relax” mode. This will give you an unlimited number of images — and, trust me, you’ll need them. Once you start playing with this thing, it’s almost impossible to stop.

Just go to the Midjourney website, go through the sign-up process, then log into the Midjourney Discord server . They’ll send you all the instructions, though they’re ridiculously unclear. It took me an hour to figure out how to use it — and I’ve used Discord before. So expect to spend a little time here. I admit, the Midjourney interface is the worst of all the AI image generator apps I’ve reviewed this year . You might want to watch my video from last night where I spent an hour explaining how to use it.

Anyway, one of the things we talked about was whether Midjourney can be used to create book covers.

So, first, you want to have the paid version of the tool, because then your images are private. Otherwise, anyone can see them and use them. Of course, if you don’t care if other people can use your images, then this might not be an issue. So, for example, if you use Midjourney to generate images for short story covers you might not be too concerned. Or if you’re using Midjourney to replace stock images you’ve been pulling down off Pixabay or another stock image site — then you’re already comfortable with the fact that the same image might show up elsewhere.

Create your Midjourney image

So, first, obviously, you need to create an image for your cover.

I recommend looking at other books in your genre to get a sense of what kind of covers are popular. But, for the sake of this experiment, I’m going to create a cover with a fantasy castle illustration.

And I want the image to be vertical. For a book cover, the recommended size is 1600 pixels wide by 2400 pixels high, which works out to an aspect ratio of 2 to 3. You remember how to reduce fractions, don’t you? You find the biggest common denominator… Anyway, I digress.

Go to the Midjourney Discord server, click on the “Midjourney Bot” in the left-hand panel if you’re a paid customer or one of the “newbie” channels if you’re still on the free plan, then type the following text into the text entry field at the bottom of the screen:

/imagine fantasy castle illustration –ar 2:3

You have to be very careful with the formatting — you really need that slash before the word “imagine” and the two dashes with no space after them before the “ar.” That last bit, the “–ar 2:3” is what will make the image the right size for a book cover, instead of square.

If you notice, in the screen shot above, there’s the word “prompt” in gray between “/imagine” and “fantasy castle illustration –ar 2:3”. I didn’t type that — Midjourney automatically puts that there after you hit the space bar after typing “/imagine”.

Then you wait a couple of minutes. I’m in the “relax” mode — to get unlimited images for my $30 — so it’s supposed to be a little bit slower than it would be otherwise. But frankly, I haven’t noticed a difference.

Eventually, you get four images. Now you have a choice — you can re-run the same prompt by hitting the rerun button — it’s the two arrows in a circle. Or you can upscale one of the four images you’ve created by hitting the “U1,” “U2,” “U3” or “U4” button. Or you can ask Midjourney to do some variations on one of the four images by hitting the “V1,” “V2,” “V3,” or “V4” button.

The Midjourney AI doesn’t have enough common sense — yet — to know that you don’t usually have two castles on top of each other. You might have to rerun the same prompt a few times before you get an image you like.

Or you can fiddle with the prompt a little bit. For example, you might add the word “steampunk” to the prompt.

/imagine fantasy castle steampunk illustration –ar 2:3

Here are the results:

Or you can add the phrase “studio ghibli” or “pixar” or “trending on artstation.” You can also try “photorealistic” or “dramatic backlighting” or “moonlit night.”

I’m going to throw them all in and see what happens:

/imagine fantasy castle steampunk illustration studio ghibli trending on artstation dramatic backlighting moonlit night –ar 2:3

I like that one at the bottom right. I figure I can crop out the weird clouds at the bottom, and the nice solid blue sky above will make it easy for me to add empty space for text.

So I hit “U4” to upscale the fourth image and this is what I get:

Now, this is the part where a professional artist would open up Photoshop or a similar program, but for the purposes of this exercise, I’m going to go to Canva . It’s free, it makes it easy to collaborate with friends, and it’s the platform I recommend to everyone because it has virtually no learning curve.

After you create your account and log in, there’s a button near the top right of the home page that says “custom size.” Click that, and enter 1600 for width and 2400 for height.

On the far left, you’ll see a vertical panel with icons labeled “Templates,” “Elements,” “Uploads,” “Text” and “Styles.” Click on Uploads and upload the image you’ve just saved from Midjourney.

Then, once it’s uploaded, click it and it will pop up in the center, in the main window.

Now you can fiddle around with it.

First, I’m going to click on the white background and change its color to match the color of the castle image. Then I’ll stretch the castle image to take the full page, and move it down, to get rid of the weird clouds.

And I’m going to add a shadow panel to the top and to the bottom to make things a little bit darker there. Click on the “Elements” icon at the far left and type “transparent gradient black” into the search box. As I write this today, the second option is free — the others have little gold crowns on them indicating that Canva wants you to pay extra. But the free gradient is perfectly fine for my purposes. If I was in Photoshop — or Gimp, my preferred open source alternative — I’d just do a gradient fill here.

Then I click the “Text” icon at the far left and add a title and author name and play around with fonts and line spacing, then increased the contrast and saturation a bit on the main image.

You can click on the image above to get the full-sized version, so you can see how it would look on a print cover.

Would I put this on a real book? No, I’d spend a few more hours playing around with Midjourney to get a better image. And I’d spend another couple of hours trying out different fonts. Then I’d get frustrated, give up, and hire an artist.

But frankly, it already looks better than most hand-made covers out there, so I’d be totally happy putting it on a short story.

Which reminds me. I’m actually working on a short story now. About an angry woman who’s killing people in a medieval-themed virtual world.

Here’s my prompt:

/imagine angry short-haired beautiful woman in armor holding a sword and knife video game style highly detailed epic dramatic backlighting standing bravely in front of a portal –ar 2:3

I liked the one on the bottom left, upscaled it, and dropped it into Canva without any touching up or any shadows — no additional work at all. Just added some text.

Not bad for five minutes’ work.

If you had trouble following any of the above instructions, what the video below, where I create a brand-new, completely original book cover in ten minutes:

5 thoughts on “How to make a book cover with Midjourney and Canva”

Great way to decimate the creative industry with images made in 5 minutes, scrapped from other people’s work. Not sure you would like an Ai writing books, put together in 5 min by joe bloggs using a book publishing generator.

So, how will your statement change when I tell you there have been AI programs for this already? Plot generators are simplistic forms of it. However, there are programs that put together entire news stories and blog posts. Even product descriptions. They existed long before AI for art.

Not to mention, as someone who has reluctantly played with a few AI programs for art (long story) they fall far short of the quality you get from hiring an artist. 1. It’s hit or miss and takes a lot of work to get something you might want. (Example, it doesn’t know how to generate a mouse chasing a cat.) 2. There are flaws. Sometimes minor, often major. (Example, A man holding a longbow more often than naught produces a weird cross between a longbow and a crossbow. Joints going in the wrong direction, and in one fun instance, he was holding a deer’s antler instead! 3. It is a good tool to generate some ideas for your own artistic designs. Plugging in prompts and seeing the results, liking aspects of one, and aspects of another, then drawing your own image with those desired aspects. (Many artists I know will use references when they draw. AI can be used for the same reason.

Any piece I’ve seen that I like, still ends up needing touching up, which means I still have need to contact my favorite artist to touch it up (i.e., I still pay for full work). They’ve gotten more work out of me because of the AI art. Though I am probably an acceptation. If someone is willing to accept ‘good enough’, the artist can’t do much about it, nor is it the program’s fault. Most people who use the AI generators are generally too cheap to buy art in the first place.

By all means if you feel the need to boycott an individual or a company because they use generated AI, do so. (It can work if you get enough people who feel the same to boycott!) But I don’t see people like you boycotting industrial businesses that put tailors and shoemakers out. Blacksmiths, Goldsmiths, and Silversmiths were also victims of technology.

Basically; I do not see AI art replacing artists anymore, unless the population decides it is okay with sub-par results most of the time. An artist is still going to be required to touch up the art.

M — First, the genie is out of the bottle.

I agree — the first round of AIs is trained on copyrighted images. This isn’t against the law — it’s not against the law for human artists to train by copying other artists’ work, either. In fact, that’s how humans normally learn. As long as the result is unique and original, that’s what counts.

But it’s potentially problematic enough that Getty has just prohibited AI-generated images from their collection.

The next round of AIs will be trained on curated, non-copyrighted images, just to address those concerns.

But that doesn’t address the main point of your comment — that the new technology will decimate the art industry.

It will. Artists and writers need to start preparing. In fact, artists should have been preparing a few years ago, when the writing was first on the horizon.

AIs won’t take all art and writing jobs, just like industrialization didn’t kill all family farms and home-based seamstresses. We still have both, but there are far fewer of those jobs than there were before, and the people who do have those kinds of businesses had to stop competing against mass-production head-on. Quality and consistency and reliability will no longer be the selling points. AI can make high quality products (up to a certain level), much more consistently, and, of course, much faster.

If your art — or your writing — is messy, inconsistent, and slow, well, you can rejoice, because you now no longer have to worry about fixing those things. Just like human pottery makers no longer strive to be perfect and fast — it’s the imperfections, and the time they take, that are some of the selling points.

What you do have to worry about is marketing and brand building. People will pay more to have a cover by a famous artist. Especially one with a tragic backstory. And if it takes months to get on that artist’s calendar — well, then people will value it that much more and spend even more money on the cover, and brag about it to everyone.

Finally, artists — and writers — will need to learn how to use AI and embrace it. (Unless going old school is part of their brand identity, of course.)

AI can be used to create hundreds of first drafts that the artist or writer can choose from, or to polish up a final draft.

For example, it doesn’t matter if a Taylor Swift song is written 100% by her, or with the help of coauthors, or fully by someone else, or by an AI. What matters is that she sings it, and that it’s about her life, and that we feel a personal connection to that song because of that fact.

Yes, AI will decimate all the artistic industries. Art. Photography. And writing. If we stick our fingers in our ears and scream “nyah, nyah, nyah, I can’t hear you” AI still won’t go away. It’s here. We can either embrace it and learn how to use it, or double-down on building our personal brands. Or both. There is no alternative.

Great intro to MJ and comment response well said, Maria. As an artist and a writer I’ll say this: we are living in hectic times. AI is a tool. When I first started out as a designer it was a year before adobe began and we still used drawing boards, ink, and darkrooms. The same argument was going on back then. Embrace what makes life easier. The creative process still applies.

When I started as a journalist, I had a little paper notebook I carried around with me to take notes in — one of those super-narrow reporter notebooks with a spiral on top. And I had a separate binder with my contacts and schedule. I also carried a Nikon FM2 camera and a giant bag of lenses. I liked the FM2 because it didn’t need any batteries.

Sometimes, I carried a tape recorder, but I typically found that working with paper notes was easier.

To find someone to talk to, I’d spend hours on the phone, calling everyone in my rolodex. If they were a high-profile person, I would probably not be able to get them on the phone, and then I’d go and stake out the location where they were and try to catch them as they were walking by.

Once I started working overseas, phone calls were less effective and I physically had to get everywhere myself, usually with a combination of public transport, taxis, and hitching rides with random strangers or military vehicles.

This was just the start of the electronic revolution. For the Chicago Tribune, I could file by stories using a dial-up modem. For Reuters, I needed to get to an office and use a terminal. If I couldn’t get to an office, I would call the news desk and dictate my story over the phone. Sometimes, out in the field, I’d be writing the story in my head, from my notes, as I was dictating it.

You could say that was *real* reporting. And yes, it was fun. It was what I got into the industry to do.

Today, I sit at my desk. My initial round of contacts with sources are all by email. I conduct interviews over video. I transcribe the interviews with Otter.AI. I use a relational database to manage my assignments, research notes, transcripts, and invoices. (I recommend Notion.so)

I can write more stories in a day than I could in a week, and my sources are now all over the world.

But it’s not quite as much fun as chasing people.

Is it cheating to use AI to transcribe by notes and a relational database to organize my story? Of course not. It’s just the way the job is now.

It’s a different job, though.

It’s the same for any industry transformed by technology. Is it cheating for a farmer to use a tractor — or a shovel — instead of digging with their bare hands? Of course not. I mean, if we still grew food by digging with our bare hands, most of us would immediately starve to death.

Technology allows us to replace repetitive tasks with automation, so we can do better things.

With art and writing, we now have to figure out what those better things are. What will the technology allow us to do?

Photography didn’t eliminate hand-painted portraits. Instead, it allowed anyone to have a portrait of themselves. As many as they wanted. Any time they wanted it. But it did force portrait painters to reposition themselves commercially. And it probably drove quite a few of them out of the business, the ones who were doing quick portraits for families. Painted portraits became a special, luxury, item. You might commission one for a special occasion. And, more often than not, the painter will now work from a photograph instead of requiring the subjects to stand in one pose for hours.

I just listened to a brand-new podcast from the 6 Figure Authors team — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkYAZoIWnWQ — yay! They’re back! And one of the things they talked about was how AI was going to transform the industry.

Their recommendation? To focus on branding, on standing out as human. The one thing an AI can’t do is be human. (Yet!)

That means authors need to build more direct connections to their readers and to brand themselves better. This can be a problem for the more introverted authors!

Buying ads is something that an AI will probably be able to do better than humans very quickly, so ads are probably not going to be a viable strategy, long-term.

My recommendations:

1. Develop personal relationships with your readers via social media, newsletters, videos, and other channels. Make sure your communications are authentic, so think hard about the public persona you want to cultivate and how to make it as deep and rich as possible.

2. Develop personal relationships with others in your industry. I welcome everyone to volunteer at MetaStellar! You can help judge submissions, edit stories, write book and movie reviews, help with our social media, help with our website, help with our fundraising, be a guest — or host — on our YouTube channel, help with our video production, help with our bookkeeping — anything you can think of, we probably need help with. By joining our community, you will develop deep personal relationships with other editors and authors, with the big-name authors we interview for our YouTube channel, and with the publishers and marketing firms and agents who send us review copies of books.

3. Work on your technical skills. Learn to use technology to help produce videos, social media content, and, of course, written text. You can pick up some of these skills by volunteering for us, but there are also plenty of educational resources on line, many of them free or low-cost.

Another option? Leave the industry. I’m not saying that to be mean, but if you’re writing mass-produced fiction, the kind that can easily be churned out by AI, and you’re marketing it by buying ads, and you don’t have the kind of personality that likes selling yourself to the public, then maybe you might want to go back to writing part-time. Write fewer books, but better, more thoughtful, more personal ones, and use a day job for your income. Luckily, there’s a labor shortage out there right now, and it’s easier than ever to find a decent job. You might still have to invest in professional education in order to find that new career. But getting off the writing-and-publishing treadmill might actually make writing more enjoyable, and help you write better in the long run.

Make book covers with Midjourney (prompts for 10 genres)

13 Apr, 2023

Across social media I've noticed a lot of authors posting AI-generated book covers to real books they have published .

Going a step further: some of these authors are using AI tools to generate the images for the entire book .

Here I've written about 10 styles you can try for your book covers.

NOTE: Midjourney is still not great at text. All examples of text below have been added in Canva.

Minimalist Design

Simple Illustrations

Retro High Fantasy

Inspiration: Dragonlance Series, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo

The swords and sorcery oil paintings that started from the 1960s defined an entire genre - you'll find the look in older comics, vinyl records, older movie posters, and comic-adjacent illustrators.

Aesthetic Illustrations

Abstract / Pattern

Tip: add --tile to your prompts for repeating/seamless patterns!

Science Fiction

Inspiration: Science fiction book covers and movie posters

Depending on your science fiction novel, you might want to play up or down the feeling of cosmic insignificance.

Japanese Style

There's something very refreshing about the minimalism of Japanese book covers, especially when it seems like Western books are all competing to grab your attention!

Photography / Realistic

As AI-tools advance, you're no longer limited by the constraints of only being able to create illustrations: you can now create covers that resemble actual photographs!

The key is to specify the camera and the lens .

How to Add the Design

After generating the above images, I used Canva to add the book cover designs in less than 10 minutes.

You'll want to create a Canva account. Search "book cover" in the search bar, and you'll get thousands of book cover templates that you can add your images to!

What I love about Canva is how easy it is to learn. You can add or remove text and change the font. Make sure to choose a font that complements the genre your book is in.

That's how I'm using Midjourney and Canva to create book covers. What are you doing?

That's the article! Also check out:

Endless hours and thousands of prompts of experimentation later... I’m happy to release the Midjourney V5 book:

• 94-pages, 200+ prompts, and time saving techniques
• Focus on fantasy and worldbuilding
• Create high quality assets to use in games, concept art, and hobbies

A handbook that helps you improve your SDXL results, fast. Includes:

• Easy step-by-step instructions
• My favorite SDXL ComfyUI workflow
• Recommendations for SDXL models, LoRAs & upscalers
• Realistic and stylized/anime prompt examples

You've seen the book, now get it for free

By vescovo buonarroti art, llc | posted - june 22, 2024 at 8:00 a.m., (vescovo buonarroti art, llc).

Estimated read time: 5-6 minutes

For all those who may be searching for new ways to draw closer to and truly know Christ, a new book offers a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint perspective on the journey to God through spiritual rebirth.

"Putting on Christ" by author Steven Anthony Bishop seeks to inspire those who are diligent truth seekers. And for a limited time, KSL.com readers can get a free e-book version .

"For the true seeker and truth seeker, 'Putting On Christ' may prove a valuable guide for the journey along [the] straight and narrow path which leads to obtaining the knowledge of God on the same level as if we had seen Him," says Bishop.

"When we receive this knowledge, we will have been healed and cleansed by Christ himself of our sins, vices, and spiritual wounds."

If this appeals to you, here are a few other reasons why you might want to add "Putting on Christ" to your reading list.

A road map for your journey to spiritual rebirth

"Putting on Christ" is more than just a feel-good religious book — it's designed to help you change your life by bringing you to truly know the Savior. Several reviewers have reaffirmed that the book doesn't just teach you about Christ; it helps you to truly come to know Him personally. Bishop points to this new reality and perfect knowledge by sharing the stories of nine people who've been born of God in our latter or modern day. Chapter 8 alone highlights the experiences of seven of them.

According to Bishop, these stories of coming to know God through spiritual rebirth, being "born of the spirit," are "on par with many who have entered God's Presence through a near-death experience." In either scenario, God's reality will have been obtained with a perfect knowledge and certainty and people's hearts will have thereby been changed forever. Reading these accounts — along with the pertinent doctrine of Christ which will highlight the steps to obtain such an indescribable reality — will help the reader understand what that experience might feel and be like for themselves through obedience to this very doctrine.

What readers are saying about the book

The consensus among readers is that a diligent study of this book can lead to a profound change of heart and a perfect experiential knowledge as to the reality and divinity of the living Christ and of His (conditional) promise to us personally and individually of eternal life. The prophet Nephi in "The Book of Mormon" refers to this level of knowledge as a "perfect brightness."

"This doctrine-filled, scripture-supported, focus on Christ material is not the kind of book you read through quickly," writes one Amazon reviewer . "It takes study, pondering, and digestion of these truths. It takes effort on our part to recognize where we are on this journey. Often, the author shares something that touches my heart so strongly that I nearly cry from having such direct answers. This book is a huge blessing!"

Another reviewer wrote, "I have found a book that speaks [to] what I've been longing to find. It is soul-stretching and heartbreaking. I have found understanding where I am on the path and I have awoken to my awful situation. Now time to gird up my loins acting in patience and diligence seeking the only one who can save my wretched soul."

A recent reviewer on Amazon wrote, "The instructions to fill your Lamps with oil, Come unto Christ and be redeemed are indeed found within the scriptures, but having some help to see is priceless! This book contains the divinely inspired instructions along with real life experience, not only from the author but many others. It is extremely well written, very thorough, is backed up by sound scriptural doctrine and quotes from modern day Apostles and Prophets. An absolute must read for anyone who is serious about growing closer to God, receiving a true remission of sins and to be made spotless by the power of Christ Himself."

About the author and cover artist

Author Steven Anthony Bishop has worked as an entrepreneur most of his professional life. His company, Vescovo Buonarroti Art, LLC, received the first-ever-granted worldwide exclusive license to replicate Michelangelo's incomparable "La Pietà" from the Vatican Observatory Foundation, making its replicas available worldwide for viewing (See www.LaPieta.com ).

World-renowned artist Joseph Brickey did the artwork on the front cover of the book. Brickey has granted the copyright for several of his paintings to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He's also the artist who painted the large mural that acts as a backdrop behind Christ and the Twelve Apostles in the Rome, Italy, Temple visitor's center.

How to get your copy of 'Putting on Christ

If you count yourself among the diligent seekers who are searching for more than just the next great Christian read, you can get a copy of "Putting on Christ" on the book's website or on Amazon . The book recently came out in audio format and will soon be available in 10 languages.

"Putting on Christ" is an Amazon #1 National Bestseller in nine categories and is a top seller among Latter-day Saint-authored books on Amazon. All profits from the book will go toward remarketing of the book as well as helping to feed and shelter the homeless.

In the words of the author, "The path is real and He is coming. Waste no time." Get your copy of "Putting on Christ" today!

College beyond program, college beyond and uno announce extension of strategic partnership.

Share this article

College Beyond’s success coaches, who are housed on UNO’s campus, provide academic and non-academic interventions to Pell Grant recipient college students.

College Beyond, a New Orleans-based organization dedicated to supporting students from families with low income in their pursuit of higher education, is excited to announce the extension of its strategic partnership with the University of New Orleans. This extension reaffirms the commitment of both organizations to create space for educational success and support students in their educational aspirations.

College Beyond and UNO have already seen significant successes through their partnership. Together, they have supported more than 250 students annually in overcoming financial, academic, and personal challenges to achieve their dreams of obtaining a college degree.

“Since its inception, our partnership with the University of New Orleans has been instrumental in advancing our mission to support Pell-eligible students through college. We are thrilled to renew our collaboration with UNO under the leadership of Dr. Kathy Johnson,” Clara Baron-Hyppolite, executive director of College Beyond, said.

College Beyond’s success coaches, who have been housed on UNO’s campus since the program started in 2018, provide academic and non-academic interventions to Pell Grant recipient college students.

“There is no question that our students participating in College Beyond benefit greatly from the individualized and holistic support that their success coaches provide,” UNO President Kathy Johnson said. “It is an incredibly important component of our overall strategy for supporting first generation college students as they navigate through college and into their careers. We are incredibly grateful for the partnership.”

College Beyond has assisted hundreds of students in their journey toward earning a bachelor's degree through a coaching model designed to unlock their innate potential, Baron-Hyppolite said.  In the past year alone, the program has provided over $40,000 in microgrants to UNO students in need of financial assistance to cover books and supplies, she said.

“This year, we are excited to launch our first-ever Persistence Fund, aimed at bridging gaps in financial aid to ensure students can re-enroll and continue their education. Additionally, we are introducing the Tolmas Scholarship program, which will offer College Beyond|UNO students a need-based, renewable 4-year scholarship,” Baron-Hyppolite said. “Our work in the community is crucial to closing the achievement gap for Pell-eligible students. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support student success through our renewed partnership with the University of New Orleans.”

The partnership has also been a key factor in other initiatives, including the McCollum Scholars Program in partnership with New Orleans Pelican CJ McCollum, which provides substantial financial and socio-emotional support to New Orleans high school students from families with low-income. This program, among others, exemplifies the positive impact of the collaboration between College Beyond and UNO, Baron-Hyppolite said.

As College Beyond and UNO continue their partnership, both institutions remain dedicated to their shared mission of ensuring that every student has the resources and support necessary to succeed in higher education.
