Add Text to Images

Incorporating text into images in a way that aligns with your brand identity can be challenging, but Midjourney's advanced text capabilities make it easier. 

Unlike basic photo editing software like Canva, Midjourney V6 offers sophisticated text handling, ideal for creating professional-grade visuals for marketing, social media, and other applications.

Creating a Branded Email Banner with Midjourney

Let's explore how to use Midjourney to design an email banner for a my own newsletter "The FuturAI" inspired by its logo.

This example will demonstrate how to seamlessly blend brand elements with text to produce cohesive visuals.

To achieve this, we'll upload the The FuturAI logo as an image prompt to ensure the results closely match the existing brand style. 

Prompt

Design a modern email banner featuring a blue and orange theme. The banner includes the text "The FuturAI" in a bold, ariel font, centred at the top.

The result:

Tips for Effective Text Integration

• Precision Matters: Midjourney may not always render the correct text on the first attempt. In such cases, you can edit incorrect text using the editor, regenerate images to achieve the perfect text, or download and edit it further in tools like Canva.

• Consistency is Key: Using style references or brand elements, such as logos, helps maintain consistency across your visuals.

• Clarify Your Prompt: For text in Midjourney, always enclose your desired output in quotation marks and bold it in your prompt. Be specific about font styles, text placement, and how the text should interact with other elements.

By following these guidelines, you can use Midjourney's advanced text capabilities to create visually appealing and brand-consistent images.
