Testing Terms with 11 Benchmarks

Updated: Jul 17, 2023



Welcome to the captivating world of Midjourney, where creativity takes on the essence of culinary art! Think of it as concocting a delectable soup, skillfully blending ingredients to achieve that perfect flavor. At Midjourney Dictionary, my purpose is to empower creatives like you by providing the ultimate ingredient list through collections like the Descriptive Modifiers and Resource Cubes.


Unlike traditional guides that offer just a handful of samples for each term, we go beyond the norm to unlock the full potential of your AI artistry. While a single sample can be powerful, there is a vast spectrum of possibilities to explore. That's why this dictionary offers not just one or four but eleven subjects, carefully chosen to represent a diverse range of crucial details. Here you'll find consistent subjects, allowing for captivating comparisons. The Midjourney Dictionary is your guide to experiencing the immense potential of a single term on Midjourney's incredible AI canvas.



My approach selects simple yet powerful test subjects, allowing Midjourney to shine a spotlight on the specific term under examination. While complex benchmarks can be informative, I find that more ingredients added to a prompt will overpower the term being tested.


What these benchmarks reveal to us:

Landscape: Zoom out and immerse yourself in nature's grandeur. Witness vast plains, rolling hills, majestic mountains, and an ever-changing sky. Occasionally, a distant house or structure adds a touch of human presence to this awe-inspiring canvas.


City: Venture into the realm of human creation, where orderly man-made buildings stand side by side. Zoomed out to reveal the city's urban landscape, you'll see the harmony of architectural wonders crafted by human hands.


Ocean: Dive into the mesmerizing world of water's representation. Embrace the interplay of light and motion on the waves, and catch glimpses of the breathtaking sky. If you're lucky, you may even encounter underwater wonders like coral communities and intriguing sea creatures.


Garden: The perfect fusion of nature's beauty and human ingenuity. Discover a mid view of flowers, shrubbery, and trees, interwoven with paths, fountains, fences, gazebos, statuary, and sheds. This intimate perspective allows for more detail.


Castle and House: Prepare to witness the duality of architecture at its finest. Castles, with their massive and intricate structures, stand in stark contrast to the smaller, familiar, and simpler houses. Explore the wonders of architectural design as these benchmarks reveal their striking differences.


Man and Woman: In the realm of visual representation, people take center stage. Discover how each tested term influences the clothing, form, and features of both men and women. Unravel the intricacies of the male and female portrayal, while also becoming aware of any underlying biases that surface during the artistic process.


Cat: The internet's favorite, the cat showcases the beauty of furry creatures. From animal anatomy to fur textures and a vibrant array of colors and patterns, cats have it all. And ultimately I just really like cats.


Butterfly: Another living creature, this time an insect, but why a butterfly? It has a chance to show us organic symmetry, a focus on patterning, and shape as butterfly wings are often very detailed.


Flowers: Yes there were flowers in the garden, but this gives us a close up detailed view of flowers. Not specifying a type allows for more variety in results, although certain terms will bias the flowers used if for example Van Gogh will be more likely to have sunflowers as a result. You can also get imaginative flowers that push the boundaries of reality


Submitter's Choice: There is a twelfth image. The choice lies in the hands of the visionary who submits the term to the dictionary, granting them the freedom to unleash their wildest creativity. This is where unexpected takes center stage.


As the curator, I take delight in exploring uncharted territory. Sometimes, I might select a subject that perfectly complements the expertise of a talented artist. But the real magic happens when I venture outside the norm, infusing the prompt with a touch of eccentricity. Picture a Tropical Space Station, where the extraordinary meets the imaginative, and boundaries fade away in a fusion of paradise and cosmos.


As you explore these benchmarks, you'll uncover a wealth of inspiration and insights. Join us in this remarkable journey of visual discovery, where Each subject is carefully curated to reveal its true potential.


What would you choose as your benchmark subjects?
