Very interesting feedback, thank you so much. If you are interested in the process, I selected the words from various personal notes/reflections/quotes that I wanted to share. Next, I scrolled through the library of images I have created recently using various combinations of AI + photoshop manipulation and selected some that resonated with the words. It's an old school magazine layout process I used back in the days...

My AI images are rarely first-try hits, I start with various prompts and outputs adding layers of instructions to refine them over several generation cycles. What I like about Midjourney is the lack of precise controls and serendipity. I should add that I feed my own unique photos, found images, patterns, or hand drawings as examples at times -- the model reimagines them, I feed them back into Photoshop and play some more with layers, masks, and generative fill. Many loops, pure chaos mostly, zero based design process, pure Iteration, serendipity and chance rule... The creations are more like digital collages of layers and generations blended in different tools -- sort of what DJs do with sound samples and synth loops.

Is that process insight useful to you?
