Step 3 — Illustrate with Midjourney

From a sentence to a cohesive set of images — no design background needed.

The big idea

A course needs to look the part, and Midjourney turns a sentence into polished images. But here’s the part most people miss: you don’t have to write those Midjourney prompts yourself. Ask Claude (or ChatGPT) to write them for you — describe what you need in plain English, and it hands back ready-to-paste prompts, complete with a consistent style, the right aspect ratios and deliberately diverse people. You just copy-paste each one straight into Midjourney. That’s exactly how every image in this course was made — none of them were typed into Midjourney by hand.

What that looks like

You ask Claude: “Write 20 Midjourney prompts to illustrate my course on building your own AI team. One consistent cinematic style in deep navy and warm gold; wide 16:9 for heroes and 3:2 for in-lesson images; and make the people genuinely diverse — different ethnicities, genders, ages and body types, with no stereotypes.”

Claude hands back 20 finished prompts, each ending in something like --ar 16:9 --style raw --v 7. You copy one, paste it into Midjourney, and repeat. No prompt-writing required.

Key insight: Let Claude write the prompts. Tell it the one thing humans forget — keep a consistent style across the whole set (it can reuse a --sref code), match the aspect ratio to each slot, and represent everyone — then just copy-paste into Midjourney.

What you’ll see

A sentence becoming a grid of images, and a mood board locking one style.

Key points to remember

Don’t type prompts into Midjourney — ask Claude (or ChatGPT) to write them, then copy-paste.
Tell Claude to keep one consistent style across every prompt (reusing a --sref code).
Match aspect ratio to the slot: 16:9 heroes, 3:2 lessons, 1:1 cards.
Ask Claude to make the people genuinely diverse and stereotype-free, baked into every prompt.
