Exploring Image Personalization in Creative Processes

Drew and Rory sound like they know what they’re doing as they dissect the messy art of mood boards, style references, and Midjourney’s ever-changing quirks, but can they be trusted?

They debate whether organization is a blessing or a curse, try to make sense of image ranking, and wonder if Midjourney’s interface was designed by someone who actively dislikes users.

Along the way, they rediscover old tokens/techniques (like wabi-sabi) that were apparently genius all along—if only they had remembered them sooner.

They break down the fine line between coherence and chaos in image generation, test the limits of personalization, and realize that sometimes the best creative breakthroughs come from happy accidents.

They wrap things up by reminiscing about the good old days of Midjourney V4—because nostalgia makes everything seem better. It’s part creative therapy, part AI troubleshooting, and entirely a reminder that no one really has this figured out.
