AI'S MOST DISRUPTIVE WEEK OF 2025 + Midjourney V7

It feels like everything has changed...

Fam,

Last week was nothing short of insane.

Personally…I had (3) stage presentations in (2) days.

In the same span…it feels like everything changed.

And image generation took a quantum leap.

You have to see this AD CREATIVE workflow below. (mindblowing)

Here’s what we got today:

LET’S BOOGIE…

MIDJOURNEY MASTERY: BIG COURSE UPDATE

Made some BIG updates to Midjourney Mastery.

If you haven’t joined the party

  • (7) Lessons - 58 Minutes | Going through detailed use cases + workflows | Moodboard theory + strategies to get better results

CHATGPT: RELEASES NEW IMAGE MODEL.

Ok, so OpenAi was working on something underground.

And last week they released their NEW MODEL on ChatGPT-4o and Sora.

Honestly, it’s pretty damn good…and will change workflows.

IF YOU MISSED IT → CHECK IT OUT

QUICK THOUGHTS:

  1. You can use it in a chat window or Sora

  2. It’s extremely good with text and graphic design.

  3. The image quality is a huge jump from Dalle-3.

  4. It’s able to think intuitively with you.

  5. And works with complex prompts.

So I pushed it with some more intricate prompts…like moodboards and random infographics…spoliler alert (it worked really well)

CHATGPT PROMPT: write an unhinged conspiracy manifesto of your real thoughts on whats going in Antarctica in fountain pen blue ink, on it scrawl corrections in marker pen, they are unhinged, there are doodles and weird oddities scrawled, you cut out and stick on lots and lots of photo extracts from magazines to show the point!!! Connecting the dots like a detective’s suspect board. Sometimes you write on them too. Make it shocking, craz,y and hysterical to read. Funny imagery too. Make this an image

So this is kinda nuts

MOODBOARDS:

Typically, when a new image model is released

I like to test them with moodboardsbecause they are super complex and encompass a number of different things.

I pushed it bit further…and added hex codes (and it responded).

CHATGPT PROMPT: Create a vertical mood board collage in 3:4 ratio with a clean, minimalist layout on a soft ice-blue (E6EFF4) background. The central image is a stylish Black man in a white technical puffer jacket (F6F8F9), navy beanie (1F2F45), and white snow goggles, facing right. Surrounding images include: A jagged mountain peak in grayscale (1F2F45 shadows). An Arctic seascape with floating icebergs in muted cyan (B8D5DD). A close-up of the puffer jacket’s quilted texture (F6F8F9). A close-up texture shot of thick gray knit wool fabric (5D5F62 & 2E2F31). Portraits of men wearing deep navy winter jackets (2B3A4C) and beanies. Two minimalist flat design illustrations of men in winter clothing matching the same color palette. Color palette swatches arranged vertically: ice blue (E6EFF4), pure white (F6F8F9), stone gray (C3C6CE), and navy black (1F2F45)" Use soft, diffused lighting with no harsh shadows. Composition should feel balanced, with clean separation between images, and emphasize Arctic exploration, winter fashion, and textile detail.

PEOPLE ARE DOING INSANE THINGS:

Because i’ve been away… I’ve only been able to test it slightly.

But here’s a few awesome uses:

MIDJOURNEY V7: COMING TODAY/TOMORROW?

I think Midjourney is feeling the heat…because of all the developments last week.

We got this tweet from David (founder of Midjourney).

So I would expect MJV7 today or tomorrow.

V7 RANKING:

  1. You can now rate images for V7

  2. So you can help calibrate the model

  3. And tell MJ what you think is “beautiful”

HELP MIDJOURNEY HERE → midjourney.com/rank-v7

**Note - This is not what V7 images will look like…this helps calibrate the model.

CHATGPT AD CREATIVE WORKFLOW:

Having ChatGPT’s intuitive ability is a plus (use it to your advantage).

So I tried to create some FB ads with that in mind.

And it really surprised me.

FULL THREAD → CHECK IT OUT

HERE’S THE IDEA:

  1. Create a wireframe an ad template.

  2. Provide GPT details/brief

  3. Provide GPT product images/inspo

  4. Generate + Post produce.

So we started with creating an ad template in Figma.

PROVIDING GPT DETAILS/BRIEF:

  1. Treat it like a creative brief

  2. Add the product images

  3. Add product description/features

  4. Add creative inspo

GENERATE:

  1. Asking a lot of the tool here

  2. Not everything will be perfect

  3. Still needs post production

POST PRODUCTION:

  1. Used PS + figma

  2. Removed product imgs in PS

  3. Removed product img bgs in figma

  4. Composed in figma

FINAL GEN + ITERATION:

  1. Working off the wireframe

  2. You can create more

  3. By giving a different brief

MY BRAIN HURTS:

Idk how i’m going to sleep…the possibilities just expanded

Stay tuned for more explorations here.

REVE: NEW IMAGE GENERATOR MAKING WAVES.

Last week we got ChatGPT…but we also got REVE.

It’s another high-powered image generator..and it’s pretty damn good.

Still needs some time to test it, but the first impressions are solid.

FULL POST → CHECK IT OUT

QUICK THOUGHTS:

  1. Very solid realism

  2. Handles text well

  3. Very impressed w. composition

  4. Coherence is good overall

  5. Limited in super-intricate details

It’s a good start…also used the MB prompt from above. (and it performed well)

VERSIONING:

Another interesting use case I found (by mistake) is versioning/variants.

You can upload an image into Reve and it will re-compose them.

(More to come on this…)

REVE VERSIONED IMAGES

CUSTOM AI WORKFLOWS: DONE FOR YOU

Never a dull moment at SUPERSIDE.

We’ve now surpassed 2000+ PROJECTS completed with Ai

RESULTS: 50-85% Reduction in Hours → $1.4 Million Saved for Clients.

For brads like Amazon, Reddit, Google, Coinbase, Booking.com, etc…

WHY USE AI?:

  • So we get from brief-to-first-draft as rapidly as possible.

  • With key visuals/copy/ux/ui trained and tailored to brand guidelines/standards

  • Fully automated with tools like OpenAi/Claude/Flux/Figma

  • So we cut the back-and-forth time on “does this fit the brand?

  • And we focus on strategy, visual firepower, and iteration.

The best part?…If we can’t do it with Ai…we have 500+ traditionally trained world-class designers…who can do it by hand.

Have a design problem that needs solving? (We like those)

It’s worth a convo (at the very minimum).
