Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of vintage poster art, Art Nouveau, and Pop Art. It features distinct characteristics of mid-20th century illustrative posters, with bold color contrasts and clean, powerful lines, while retaining the decorative quality and organic curves of Art Nouveau, as well as the flat treatment and commercial feel of Pop Art.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of this style is the vibrant, saturated color palette, dominated by warm tones of orange, red, and yellow with contrasting accents. Images are treated with a flat, graphic approach featuring strong, defined outlines that give the feeling of vintage prints. Figures and objects are simplified into graphic representations with dramatic lighting effects, creating a strong visual impact. Background elements are typically simplified to emphasize the main subjects. This style is impressive because it balances nostalgia with modernity, evoking memories of a specific era's design aesthetic.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Vintage Poster: Strengthens the period feel, adding mid-20th century propaganda art visual language and texture
  • Flat Composition: Makes the image more graphic, enhances the distinct color blocking, and increases the overall decorative and pattern-like quality
  • Screenprint: Brings special texture and color overlay effects, enhancing the handcrafted artistic feel and vintage quality

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album covers, movie posters, festival and event promotions, bar and cafΓ© decorative art, retro-themed brand identity design, game cutscenes and illustrations, fashion magazine special feature illustrations, and any creative project requiring strong visual impact with a nostalgic atmosphere.

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
