Art Style Type

This SREF style blends mid-20th century line drawing illustrations with minimalist commercial illustration techniques. It presents characteristics of vintage American 1950s advertising and textbook illustrations, with strong line art influences. The style emphasizes clean black and white contrasts and fluid line work, simplifying complex elements into basic shapes, embodying the practical aesthetics of that era's graphic design.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is clean, crisp black and white lines without gradient shading, relying entirely on line thickness and density to convey form and volume. The lines flow naturally, possessing a warm hand-drawn quality rather than a mechanical feel. The illustrations maintain a high degree of simplification, retaining only necessary details while precisely capturing the essence of the subject. This minimalist yet expressive style is impressive because it communicates clear information using minimal visual elements.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Line Illustration: Emphasizes clean, flowing lines that enhance the vintage hand-drawn feel and precise outline representation
  • 1950s Ad Style: Introduces mid-century modern composition and period characteristics, strengthening the historical atmosphere
  • Minimalist Black and White: Highlights contrast and line purity, making the image cleaner and creating stronger visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for vintage-themed brand promotional materials, educational book illustrations, literary work accompaniments, cafe menu designs, retro-style posters, vintage advertisement recreations, fashion magazine accent elements, and any visual communication projects requiring a minimalist, clear approach with a nostalgic feel.

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
