WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
A repeatable Midjourney workflow for consistent, on-brand image systems
- The episode focuses on consistency: moving from one-off “cool” Midjourney generations to a coherent brand image library by using a tight, repeatable workflow.
- Jamey starts with mood boards (Pinterest/Cosmos), then shifts to style references (SREFs) to better control color/contrast and avoid Midjourney “averaging” effects.
- She adds personalization codes (profiles) and selective prompting shortcuts (editorial/publication names, “luxury,” camera models) to quickly dial in a distinctive, scalable aesthetic.
- Finally, she packages the system for clients (prompts, profiles, references) and uses Nano Banana/Flora as “Photoshop” for targeted fixes like upscaling, swapping objects, and face/pose composites for thumbnails and content.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasConsistency comes from a process, not clever prompts.
Jamey emphasizes a “tight and manicured” workflow so you’re not endlessly prompting; the goal is repeatable inputs (references, profiles, minimal text) that reliably yield a coherent set.
Use mood boards to define taste, then prefer SREFs for control.
Midjourney mood boards can “average” a mixed vibe; dragging the same images in as SREFs often produces stronger, more predictable carryover in color/contrast/camera treatment.
Diagnose what’s ‘overpowering’ and remove or crop it out.
If an element dominates (green eyeshadow, bubblegum), don’t fight it with long prompts—remove that reference or crop the distracting region and re-run to keep the composition without the unwanted cue.
Develop a small set of reliable test prompts to audit a style quickly.
Prompts like “ethereal female model,” “astronaut,” “cats,” or “runner” are broad enough to reveal how a style applies across textures and subjects, helping you spot mismatch early.
Personalization codes add ‘your lens’ but require careful curation.
Profiles trained via rapid A/B voting can add crispness and modernity, but “style bleeding” happens if you like too many images with a secondary art style (e.g., painterly/renaissance).
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesIt all comes down to having a very tight and manicured process… so you're not pulling your hair out prompting all day.

Mentioning, like, Vogue or high fashion… is a great way to tell the model a ton of stuff without actually having to tell a ton of stuff.

Nano Banana… literally is just Photoshop. That's exactly how you should think of it.
