What would be the best service to get images that would look naturally in a textbook? Something less arty, more in the clipart style, for prompts like this:
"The team worked as quickly as they could to get invoices functioning properly again."

That is not a good prompt. Good prompts tell the AI what specific visual elements you want to see, and what style you want them to be in. Vague ideas like you describe do not tend to get great results—who are "the team"? What sort of work are they doing? How does one get an invoice to function?

Remember, you're telling it what single, static, still image you want to see, not describing a movie scene.

From MidJourney:

"minimalist clipart of a stressed businessman and businesswoman buried in invoices, 1990s clipart, flat style"

"minimalist clipart of a stressed businessman and businesswoman buried in many invoices, piles of paperwork, computers, crying, anger, chaos, 1990s clipart, flat style"

"minimalist clipart of a stressed businessman and businesswoman buried in invoices, yelling, papers, 1990s clipart, flat style"

"flat clip-art of stressed office workers printing invoices, 1980s clip-art, Microsoft clip art, geometric, minimal --no background"

"flat clip-art of stressed office workers printing invoices, 1980s clip-art, Microsoft clip art, papers, screaming, chaos, geometric, minimal --no background"

BTW unbelievable images ITT, hard to single any one out. I'd enjoy them if they didn't scare me...

now if you want this for production I think Bing's ToS forbids commercial use not having much like with Stable Diffusion (base, dreamshaper, and anything). They all keep wanted to include the book.Entirely possible someone has a model that knows this, or a Lora.

The challenge here is to use unedited text from the textbook. You feed the engine select sentences from a chapter, as separate prompts, and come later to see if it produced anything useful.

Tech blog images. What image are you going to use for a new CPU review? I know that's something that struggles a lot with finding images or even what to describe the image as.

Doctor Zero: Sep 21, 2002; Would you like a jelly baby?
It's been in my pocket through 4 regenerations,
but it's still good.

Those TV shows inspired me, so I dove into the little known ABC TV Sitcom based upon John Carpenter's The Thing.

The Antarctic crew move back home to New York, but one of them is a Thing! Wacky hiking ensure as they try to hide the Thing from the landlord, and try to teach the Thing how to be a human being and not take anyone over! It ran two seasons, the first was closer to the original movie and featured Christopher Lloyd and Matt Frewer, but the ratings were poor, so in the second season they brought in Scott Baio and Shelly Long. It also introduced a new next door neighbor family (of course including a little kid) and a bumbling FBI agent and his team of misfits. The final blow was the awful Christmas episode when Santa Claus showed up. Sadly, only drove away the diehard fans, and the show was canceled mid-season 2.

Join me in remembering this class bit of TV, won't you?

Season 1:

The advertising campaign on buses was controversial.

Using MidJourney, prompt for most all of these I posted this time and the time before is:

"1975 retrofuturistic surreal Agnes Lawrence Pelton and Angus McKie poster featuring" with whatever after 'featuring', exposed brain, bartender, tiled bathroom, mullet man, thanksgiving dinner, etc. The result is always so wild that it isn't even consistent and it is very much one of those esoteric by feel things rather than anything concrete.

Alternatively some are structured like:
"1975 retro futuristic surreal savannah barnes LP cover featuring __________________, in the style of vibrant color gradients, david ligare, cosmic landscape, silkscreen, iconic album covers, charles willson peale, electric color schemes"
with whatever you'd like in the _________________, similar to the other prompt.

No other options toggled besides some of them have --style raw. No --w, no --s, just the prompts. I did, based on your reply, just try "Omni magazine cover --ar 3:4" and got this:

Sedgr posted:

Neat, but different in style.

Besides this lady

her prompt is
"Constructivism art circa 1915 depicting a neon head light in the dark, , colorful futurism, poster art, crystalcore, iconic album covers, ricoh ff - 9d --style raw"
because that's what MidJourney claimed it wanted to see when I shoved an early image I made earlier with 5.1that I really don't remember what it was using /describe

I know I've said it before and demonstrated it a few times in the thread, but I can not get over how powerful that /describe command is to lay groundwork down and go from there. See something you think is neat, /describe it, go :hmmyes:

and turn around and tweak that prompt in whatever direction you'd like. That's what happened here!

Roman: Aug 8, 2002

Here's a good example of how random AI weirdness can inspire story ideas.
These are pics from an "episode" of my sci-fi series. I wanted it to be about how my time traveler character hosed up her future and had to fix it.

Some of my prompts made some time traveler guys who were wearing goofy suits, all in the desert and in the same kind of pose, and they kind of looked like the same, with one being younger. I wasn't trying to specify an actor or anything, it just happened to make them like that. So I made him an "adoring fan" of the main character, and figured he could be trying to duplicate her time machine exosuit (and failing).

But he ends up helping her figure out how to fix the timeline.

After they fix things, he goes off on his own adventures into the future.

Also, those goofy helmets on the inventor guy were created by Midjourney's Zoom Out function. It's become my favorite feature.

ANOMALY Z S1E3: �A Time In Stitches�
Rated TV-MA, 50 min.
After a timeheist somehow creates an apocalyptic future Earth, Zane desperately tries to engineer a chain of events that will repair the timeline. In her attempts, Zane meets her �biggest fan� - Dick Paisley, an eccentric inventor who had tried and failed to recreate Zane's Chronosuit. Zane discovers that Paisley may hold the key to saving the planet.

Most of them are more or less the following, with the scene descriptions added in:

"35mm sitcom stillframe: annoyed grandma [doing x], monster [doing x], retro, vintage, designed by Jim Henson, tokusatsu, sitcom, monster, creature, 1980s, practical effects, foam rubber, animatronics, suburbs --ar 5:3 --no clown"

Sweet, thanks! Also lol at " --no clown"
What have you experienced that required adding that!?

Adding in tokusatsu kept making a bunch of weird clown dudes. I think I also had "Ultraman monsters" and "sentai monsters" in there at one point, which probably didn't help. I kept it around because it made for less human results.
