To highlight the unique advantages and features of the style, we have carefully crafted custom prompts for each sref. By using these prompts, you can perfectly replicate the sref's effects.

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Retrofuturism, Industrial Design Aesthetics, and Japanese Poster Design. It belongs to retrofuturism because it combines modern technological elements with nostalgic visual treatment; the industrial design aesthetic is evident in the precise mechanical structures and technical blueprint-like presentation; while Japanese poster design is reflected in the clean composition and iconic use of red circular elements.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is the perfect fusion of technical blueprint aesthetics with artistic expression. The imagery uses engineering drawing-like textures and grid lines to create a professional technical document feel, while using striking red geometric shapes as visual focal points. The overall color palette is primarily black, white, and gray, with selective use of vibrant red creating strong visual contrast. This style is impressive because it successfully combines the coldness of technical aesthetics with warm humanistic appeal, achieving both sci-fi sensibility and artistic merit.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • technical blueprint: Enhances the blueprint texture and professional engineering design atmosphere, making the image more authentic as a technical document
  • red circle motif: Emphasizes the iconic red circular design elements, increasing visual impact and Japanese aesthetic characteristics
  • vintage poster aesthetic: Strengthens the retro poster style, giving the work more nostalgic charm and classic design appeal

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi themed designs, industrial product showcases, retrofuturistic illustrations, and concept design works. In game art, it can be used for mecha design or sci-fi scene concept art; in commercial design, it's perfect for tech product launch posters or industrial design exhibition promotions; it's also ideal for creating Japanese aesthetic sci-fi movie posters or book cover designs.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
