A menu cover and a Friday deadline
Sana Moretti runs a small café, and she needs a new menu cover by Friday. The old one is stained, curled at the corners and still shows last year's prices. So between two customers she opens Midjourney and types everything she feels, all at once.
Four pictures appear. All of them are pretty. None of them is right. And one of them, she thinks, is almost good enough to send to the printer.
The quiet danger
I have been making images for more than ten years, and I can tell you where most people go wrong. It is rarely because the tool is too weak. It is the first picture that looks good enough, because choosing feels so much easier than exploring.
In my book, that danger has a name. A small group of makers who gather every Thursday in the back room of a café learn to spot it, one problem at a time, and you will probably recognise yourself in at least one of them.
If a deadline, an empty create bar and a grid of four lovely pictures sound familiar, you are in good company. There is a gentle habit that makes the whole process lighter, and it is much simpler than you might expect.
