Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of modern minimalism, ethnic art, and vintage print art. It incorporates the texture of woodcut prints, the clean composition of 60s-70s graphic design, and symbolic patterns from folk art. It belongs to these categories because of its bold black and white contrasts, simplified shapes and patterns, and lines with a handcrafted quality, while maintaining the cleanness of modern design.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are strong black and white contrasts, simplified graphic language, and vintage warm color tones. The images are flattened, with clear outlines and intentionally simplified details, creating a visual effect that is both modern and nostalgic. What's particularly impressive is how it seamlessly integrates ethnic elements with modern design language, creating a visual style that is both artistic and easily recognizable, while retaining the warm texture of handcrafted art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Woodcut print: Adding this word enhances the handcrafted texture and feel of the work, increasing the dramatic effect of black and white contrasts
  • Vintage poster: Using this can strengthen the nostalgic atmosphere, introducing more classic elements from 60s-70s graphic design
  • Ethnic totem: Adding this element enriches the symbolic language and cultural depth of the work, incorporating more patterns with symbolic meaning

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for cultural exhibition posters, independent music album covers, branding for boutique coffee shops or artisanal stores, literary magazine illustrations, packaging design for lifestyle brands, and fashion promotional materials that seek a unique artistic feel. It's also very appropriate for eco-themed projects that need to convey a "back to basics" philosophy.

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
