الدورة ركزت بشكل جيد على كيفية تصميم صور مصغرة عمودية جذابة باستخدام Midjourney، وطبقت ما تعلمته فوراً على قناتي.

كنت أعاني كثيراً في تصميم صور مصغرة تجذب المشاهدين لمقاطعي القصيرة، وهذه الدورة غيرت طريقة تفكيري بالكامل. الشرح يركز على تكوين الصورة العمودية تحديداً، من زوايا التقريب إلى استخدام الألوان المتباينة لجذب العين في الثانية الأولى. أعجبني كثيراً الجزء الخاص ببناء برومبتات متسلسلة لتعديل نفس الصورة بدل البدء من الصفر كل مرة. بعد أسبوعين من تطبيق ما تعلمته لاحظت فرقاً واضحاً في نسبة النقر على مقاطعي.

The prompt formulas for high-contrast vertical thumbnails were exactly what my channel needed, my click-through rate actually went up.

أنا مصممة مصغرات مستقلة وأعمل مع عدة صناع محتوى، وهذه الدورة أضافت لي أدوات جديدة فعلاً. الجزء عن التركيب العمودي وكيفية ترك مساحة للنص فوق الصورة كان دقيقاً جداً ومفيداً عملياً. أحببت أيضاً الأمثلة الحقيقية لمقارنة برومبت ضعيف ببرومبت قوي، هذا النوع من الشرح نادر. المدة قصيرة نسبياً لكن المحتوى مكثف ومباشر بدون حشو.

Aprendí a estructurar prompts para miniaturas verticales que realmente resaltan, aunque me hubiera gustado más ejemplos de composición con texto.

Thumbnail menegak saya untuk Reels nampak jauh lebih menarik selepas belajar teknik prompt Midjourney dalam kursus ni!

Делаю Shorts и Reels, и вечная боль — превью, на которые никто не кликает. Здесь наконец разложили, как в Midjourney генерить именно вертикальные обложки с акцентом и крупным фокусом, чтобы цеплять взгляд в ленте. Очень помогли разборы композиции и контраста, теперь мои миниатюры выглядят гораздо чище. Промпты под нужный формат и соотношение сторон тоже даны подробно. Единственное — хотелось бы больше про добавление текста поверх, эту часть затронули вскользь. В остальном отличный практичный курс, рекомендую.

Быстро, по делу, миниатюры реально цепляют.

미드저니로 세로형 썸네일 만드는 법을 실전 위주로 알려줘서 좋았습니다. 프롬프트 구조를 단계별로 설명해줘서 따라 하기 쉬웠고, 실제로 제 채널 썸네일에 바로 적용해봤어요. 다만 후반부로 갈수록 예시가 좀 반복되는 느낌이 있어서 조금 아쉬웠습니다.
