If you want Midjourney to produce the same style more consistently—or to branch out more boldly in creativity—the key isn’t “using more adjectives,” but how you combine parameters. The tutorial below breaks down the common parameters clearly and gives you a few copy-ready formats to reduce repetitive trial and error.
How to write parameters: it’s most reliable to put them at the end of the prompt
In Midjourney, parameters are usually placed at the end of the prompt and start with two hyphens, for example “--ar 3:2”. Whether you use /imagine in Discord or enter prompts on the Midjourney web app, this format works universally.
It’s recommended to finish the main subject description first, then append parameters one by one, making it easier to review and compare later. When creating a series of images, keeping the same set of parameters fixed is more effective than constantly rewriting the wording.
Style vs. divergence: how to choose between --stylize and --chaos
--stylize (often written as --s) controls the strength of Midjourney’s “aesthetic intervention.” The higher the value, the more it leans toward the platform’s artistic expression—details may look prettier but it may follow your instructions less. It’s typically adjusted within the 0–1000 range: lower it to match the description more closely, raise it for more “flavor.”
--chaos (0–100) controls the degree of random variation. The higher the value, the greater the differences among the four-grid results, making it suitable for exploring composition and creative directions. For commercial finalization, it’s recommended to keep --chaos low; during the ideation phase, raising it can save time.
