Midjourney Card News Background Generator
Generate optimized Midjourney prompts for 600x600px card news backgrounds that work well with text overlays.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user requests:
- Card news background images
- Instagram post backgrounds
- Social media graphic backgrounds
- 600x600 or 1:1 aspect ratio backgrounds
Core Workflow
- Identify the topic: Extract the main subject from user's request
- Determine style category: Match to predefined style patterns
- Generate prompt: Create Midjourney prompt with optimal parameters
- Provide variations: Offer 3-5 different style options
Prompt Structure
All prompts follow this structure:
[subject/scene description], [style keywords], [color palette], [texture/atmosphere], [technical specs] --ar 1:1 --v 6
Essential Components
Subject description (5-10 words):
- Describe the visual elements clearly
- Use specific, vivid adjectives
- Avoid abstract concepts
Style keywords (3-5 keywords):
- minimal, clean, modern, professional
- gradient, abstract, geometric
- organic, fluid, soft, dreamy
Color palette (specific colors):
- Name exact colors: "soft blue and purple" not "cool colors"
- Include intensity: "vibrant", "pastel", "muted", "bright"
- Maximum 3-4 colors for cohesion
Texture/atmosphere (2-3 keywords):
- smooth, flowing, textured, grainy
- light and airy, bold and dramatic
- subtle, prominent, delicate
Technical specifications:
- Always include:
--ar 1:1 (for 600x600 square format)
- Version:
--v 6 (current Midjourney version)
- Optional:
--s 50-200 for stylization control

Text Overlay Optimization
All backgrounds must be text-friendly:
Contrast zones: Include areas with:
- Subtle gradients (not busy patterns)
- Consistent brightness in center
- Darker or lighter edges for visual interest
Space planning:
- Keep center 60% relatively uniform
- Place complex elements in corners
- Avoid horizontal lines through center
Avoid:
- High-contrast busy patterns
- Text-competing elements in center
- Overly detailed textures
