Art Style Type

This SREF style primarily blends elements of Neo-noir, Comic art, and Vintage poster design. It employs simplified yet expressive linework, strong contrasting colors, and dramatic compositions, reminiscent of mid-20th century propaganda art fused with modern comic aesthetics. The limited but bold color palette evokes the style qualities of movie posters and political propaganda illustrations.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristics of this style are the strong light-dark contrasts and flat treatment of images, using a limited color range primarily featuring black, red, beige, and teal. The lines are clean and concise, with slightly exaggerated and idealized figure representations, while background elements are simplified. The overall style creates a nostalgic yet dramatic feel with a contemporary touch. What makes this style impressive is how successfully it merges retro atmosphere with modern aesthetics, creating powerful emotional impact and visual appeal.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Vintage poster style: Enhances the period feel and flat design qualities, giving the image more of a mid-20th century propaganda art atmosphere
  • High contrast colors: Amplifies the dramatic effect and visual impact, making compositions bolder and more striking
  • Minimalist line art: Improves the expressiveness of characters and scenes while maintaining stylistic consistency and recognizability

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for movie poster design, novel cover illustrations, music album covers, fashion magazine illustrations, and narrative or dramatic commercial advertisements. It's also excellent for portraying historical themes, political subjects, or content with a retro atmosphere. In game art, it's ideal for character design and scene building in noir-style adventure games or visual novels.

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
