About this prompt
Twenty Direction Studies in Thirty Minutes
Three hours on Pinterest, then one half-baked direction in Figma, then "can we see something different?" on Wednesday. Direction studies fix that: twenty quick explorations across the whole stylistic range of the brief, curated down to three distinct directions you can put in front of a client on Monday afternoon. This product is the study prompt — tuned with higher chaos and stylize so Midjourney explores rather than converges — plus the three-pass curation method.
How to use. Write the brief into the variables, then run the prompt five times, each time with a different {{style_a}} → {{style_b}} pair that spans part of the range (minimal → maximal, grid → organic, photo → illustration, mono → colour, flat → dimensional). Four images per run gives you twenty. Curate in three passes: a 90-second gut cut, a brief cut (does it match the tone?), and a coverage cut (are the survivors meaningfully different from each other?). Three directions, all on brief, all distinct.
What to change. Lower --c to 20 if the studies are too wild; raise --s to 400 for a more artistic set. Add --no text, logos, people if the brief excludes figures.
Not a fit. Production assets, and projects where the direction is already chosen.
