In this video I walk you through using midjourney to generate fantasy art for your book cover design, including realistic photos for any genre. It’s new, it’s crazy good, but there are some legal risks and considerations you need to be aware of.
This is part I: in part II (coming soon) I’ll actually put all this together in photoshop and text so you can see how to actually make book cover designs with it.

Hey there – I’m Derek Murphy. I’m a fine artist who became a book cover designer, then started writing young adult scifi and fantasy. I’ve spent almost 20 years living abroad, have a PhD in comparative literature (revolutionary politics in Paradise Lost), and have been featured in CNN for renting castles to use as writing retreats. Although I’m not working with clients anymore, I’ve built a ton of resources to help indie authors write, design and publish bestselling books.
On this channel, I talk about writing, publishing and creating personal freedom with unconventional business strategies and providing value. My videos are unpolished and a little raw, because we travel full-time and I focus on content, not production quality.

Hmm
This is very cool, thanks for the tutorial.
If you use the paid version you can have it create the images via private message so it is private while you work o it and it will show in your profile.
Pretty amazing designs you made. Would you know about selling NFTs with MJ? I heard MJ wants 20% if you make over 20000 per pic. 🤔
Ok, Derek, It's been a month, LOL. I need/want to see the tutorial on making book covers from midjourney. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Derick, hope you are doing well buddy, where ever in the world you may find yourself. Great tutorial brother, thank you for sharing it!
If you type in the exact same phrase as someone else ( that you found in a discord group for example ) or the next day you type the same phrase as you used the day before, do you get the exact same image?
I love Midjourney, but I'm not sure how I feel about making covers with generated art. I don't want to cost an actual designer a job, you know what I mean?
