Style Summary

This style showcases an artistic style that blends retro and surreal elements, incorporating the color usage and composition characteristics of mid-20th century poster art. The scenes include figures and settings, depicted with vibrant colors and exaggerated forms to convey unique narratives and appeal. The overall style is decorative and narrative, filled with nostalgic yet modern artistic charm.

Style Analysis

Color:
Vivid contrasting colors (such as red, yellow, and blue) are a hallmark of this set of images. The colors are used boldly and intensely, complementing the simplified yet full-bodied graphic style, which gives each piece a strong visual impact. This color palette makes the scenes appear both retro and lively.
Composition:
The figures and backgrounds in the scenes have a clear sense of depth, with compositions that are dynamic and emphasize symmetry or dynamic balance. Each painting draws the viewer's eye through the emphasis on specific details, such as facial expressions, dynamic movements, or background elements.
Style Characteristics:
These works are clearly inspired by vintage poster art and incorporate surrealist symbolic expressions (such as radiating headgear designs or unusual background environments). The overall composition focuses on decorative elements, with details that are lavish and expressive.

Application Scenarios

POSTER
This style is ideal for designing posters for retro-themed events such as music festivals, dances, or cultural fairs. With its striking colors and nostalgic composition, it grabs the audience's attention while conveying the artistic and unique theme of the event.

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 )
