Hello Reader!

Welcome to Visually AI!

​

Thank you Midjourney!

Yesterday, was like every other day.

Working hard (recording a podcast!) and bustling away on the multiple projects I am doing.

And then I was tagged by Tom Blake.

Something about being included in Midjourney's Year One Book...

So I clicked on it...

And there I was:

I was overwhelmed with emotion.

It's been an incredible journey so far into Artificial Intelligence.

From collaborating with Inter Milan, flying out and attending conferences, and now being mentioned by Midjourney in their Year One Book. Plus the other countless adventures and achievements so far.

I am very grateful.

A big congratulations to beholdersai, Azed__design and all the talented creators in this 1st edition.

And after I had calmed down a little bit.

I was also made aware I was trending:

And you might be thinking: "That's great Heather, but what is it?!"

Let me explain:

The “Midjourney Year One” book is an archival collection that celebrates the creative explorations and development of the Midjourney community over the past year. It includes inspiring images from versions V4, V5, and V6 of Midjourney, along with prompts, feature milestones, and profiles of community members (me!).

It's a size of 8.5” x 11” and reads 288 pages long. It's aim is to provide a comprehensive look back at the progress made by the Midjourney team and its community, offering a fusion of content from the official Midjourney Magazine issues that were published throughout the year.

​

For those interested in purchasing the book, it ships globally with tracking, and there is a limit of four books per customer.

You can purchase the book here (no affiliate).
