While the results were still technically impressive, we felt the characterization and overall result did match what we wanted. In the end, we decided to publish this article without an illustration at all, rather than have an illustration we were unhappy with.
The Ladies’ Companion
Стр. 235 – Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind : which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Стр. 249 – Nature never did betray The heart that loved her : ’tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy ; for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e’er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith that all which we behold Is.

Стр. 9 – There is a river in the ocean. In the severest droughts it never fails, and in the mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom are of cold water, while its current is of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is in the Arctic Seas. It is the Gulf Stream.
Стр. 178 – Therefore let the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk ; And let the misty mountain winds be free To blow against thee : and, in after years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure, when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms.
Стр. 62 – I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
Стр. 71 – Fie, fie upon her! There’s language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Nay, her foot speaks ; her wanton spirits look out At every joint and motive of her body.
Стр. 240 – All things to man’s delightful use: the roof Of thickest covert, was inwoven shade, Laurel and myrtle, and what higher grew Of firm and fragrant leaf; on either side Acanthus and each odorous bushy shrub Fenced up the verdant wall, each beauteous flower, Iris all hues, roses, and jessamine, Reared high their flourished heads between, and wrought Mosaic; under foot the violet, Crocus, and hyacinth with rich inlay Broidered the ground, more coloured than with stone Of costliest emblem: other creature.
Стр. 245 – Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more, (but thou shalt not fast in them, but go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;) and pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come and talk with thee.
Стр. 163 – To move a body,— it takes a high-souled man, ‘To move the masses, even to a cleaner stye: ‘It takes the ideal, to blow an inch inside •The dust of the actual: and your Fouriers failed, ‘Because not poets enough to understand ‘That life develops from within.
Стр. 10 – In making this part of the coast, vessels are frequently met by snow-storms and gales which mock the seaman’s strength and set at naught his skill. In a little while his bark becomes a mass of ice ; with her crew frosted and helpless, she remains obedient only to her helm, and is kept away for the Gulf Stream. After a few hours.

Midjourney and head of design Roman Shamin: Midjourney fails to take off
The goal here was to spend 10-20 minutes to get an illustration for Roman’s article “design first, build later”.
He attempted to convey the image of an airplane being assembled mid-flight. After several unsuccessful attempts, this idea morphed into “an aircraft or spaceship built from distinguishable parts.” He also experimented with abstract prompts to illustrate the concept of assembly in various ways. However, there were “issues”, and he was getting off-base results:
⌨️ Roman Shamin is the creator of the Martian Mono and Martian Grotesk fonts, co-author of Harmony, Polychrom, the OKLCH Color Picker, and more. Follow him on Twitter: @romanshamin_en.
These were all just too far from his vision, despite quite a bit of re-prompt-ification. In the end, with a deadline approaching, Roman decided to abandon this attempt to use Midjourney altogether, and ended up creating his illustration by hand:
“Design first, then build”: let’s bury this myth forevermore

Roman actually reported that he spent a couple of hours working with different approaches to try to get a satisfactory result. This was much longer than initially expected. For now, he’d prefer not to use Midjourney in the future unless absolutely necessary to get a quick result. (That being said, he was unaware that a reference image could be used for a prompt, so that could leave the door open in the future.)
Takeaway: Be mindful of the amount of time you’re spending with this tool. It’s easy to get carried away, and can actually be a little bit addictive in some ways. In Roman’s case, he knew when it was time to eject in order to meet the deadline with a result that better matched his vision.
Product designer Gleb Stroganov and the white whale of Midjourney illustrations
The concept for Gleb’s article was related to customizing icon designs to more closely match fonts. So, the final result would need to fit in with this concept somehow. The first idea was to show the morphing and transformation nature of a letter. The quality of images was good, but with no clear winner. Additionally, they all sort of suffer from an obvious “AI look”. That is, the complexity of the illustrations is far beyond that which our illustrators normally produce.
And another thing–these designs were all about the font aspect of the article. But really, shouldn’t they be about the “icon” part? That was intended to be the focus, at least, customizing icons based on fonts. Since an icon design with an arrow was featured prominently in the article, the next batch of brainstorming concepts would pivot to this:
Fair enough. But back to those fonts–is it possible to somehow combine the idea of the “icon” and the “font” to try and capture the full picture of the article’s concept? We could certainly try.
Well, perhaps not–it seems the font/icon combination didn’t quite work out. There is a brutal, “Game of Thrones”-look here. Perhaps it was time to go back to the drawing board, so Gleb did. He stepped away from Midjourney completely, and decided to assemble some elements from the article itself in a collage style.
It wasn’t so interesting, but there is certainly some kind of appeal here. (By the way, trying to use these images as source images for Midjourney was also fruitless.)
Then, Gleb was able to conceptualize a concept that really resonated with his vision for the article. Back to a more “abstract” idea of an icon, and again we have the arrow, but this time, composed from some crystal material, dynamic, with a stainless effect, and space/ambient vibes.
There were tons of iterations on this concept. He knew he wanted something like this, but finding the fitting variant was just a matter of some slight prompt adjustments and patience.
