Best MidJourney AI Prompts for Designers to Create Mockups
by Kelsey Arrington on Jan 26, 2023 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary tool that designers and other creative professionals can add to their toolkits. While AI is certainly no substitute for human creativity, it can be used to generate multiple design elements in a fraction of the time it would usually take. This saves time and resources of course. But beyond that, it also empowers designers to explore endless possibilities and tap into more sources of inspiration. Isn’t that exciting?! Well, if you think so, just keep reading! In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using AI in the design process, and provide AI prompts and examples of mockups made using MidJourney AI.

Ways AI Can Benefit the Design Process
Artificial intelligence and its uses in design work can be a bit controversial. However, we implore you to enter into the realm of AI with an open mind. After all, artificial intelligence is just another tool one can add to their toolkit.
AI is not a replacement for humans. However, it can help in the following ways:
- AI can help designers brainstorm ideas. Gone are the days of thumbnailing. Instead, AI can help you think through your design ideas and experiment with different compositions
- AI can inspire designers to think more creatively. Every designer gets in a rut sometimes. Instead of staying there, why not generate some AI art to get your creative juices flowing?
- Artificial Intelligence can help design pros make data-driven decisions. AI can help folks put user data to use, providing insights that help businesses make informed design decisions.
- AI can solve issues of scalability. Artificial intelligence can process large data sets at an extremely fast pace – allowing designers to create mockups for multiple projects in parallel.
- Artificial Intelligence can enhance human collaboration. AI isn’t the enemy. On the contrary, it can be used as a tool for designers to collaborate. After all, most AI platforms provide a shared platform for feedback and design iteration.
Understanding Text-to-Image Prompts
So, what are text-to-image prompts anyway? Simply put, text-to-image prompts are natural language descriptions input into AI platforms by humans. Text-to-image prompts can take many forms including detailed captions, short sentences, or even paragraphs. But no matter the length of the prompt, the goal is similar – to use a written description and computer algorithms to create an image.
