Midjourney Prompt for Creating a Resume
Midjourney opens up fascinating creative possibilities for resume design, allowing you to generate visually striking layouts that instantly stand out. Rather than starting from a generic template, you can use AI to create unique resume designs, elegant backgrounds, custom graphic elements, or even complete mockups that will serve as the foundation for your final document. Whether you're a designer, photographer, art director, or simply someone who wants to stand out, Midjourney lets you visualize resume concepts that are impossible to find in traditional tools. The tool excels particularly at creating original layouts, header illustrations, subtle background patterns, and typographic compositions. Of course, the result generated by Midjourney will serve as a visual base or inspiring mockup — you will then need to recreate the resume in an editing tool like Figma, Canva, or InDesign to incorporate your actual text. This hybrid approach combines the creative power of AI with the editorial precision of professional tools, giving you a truly unique resume on the market.

Why this prompt works
This prompt works thanks to the combination of precise graphic design terms (typography, hierarchy, layout) that Midjourney associates with professional compositions. The 3:4 ratio reproduces the proportions of an A4 document, while --style raw and --stylize 200 reduce artistic embellishments to favor a realistic and usable output. The explicit mention of sections (experience, education, skills) guides the AI towards a recognizable resume structure.
Use Cases
Variants
Expected Output
You will obtain a high-resolution visual mockup of a professional resume with a structured layout, clearly defined areas for each section, and a consistent color palette. The result will resemble a premium resume template ready to be replicated in a design tool, with proportions close to A4 format.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I directly use the image generated by Midjourney as my CV?
No, the image generated by Midjourney serves as a visual mockup and inspiration, not a final document. Midjourney produces random, illegible text — it's impossible to insert your actual information into it. You'll need to recreate the design in a tool like Canva, Figma, or Adobe InDesign, and then enter your real text. Consider the Midjourney output as a creative visual brief that you or a designer will then faithfully execute.
What aspect ratio should I choose for an A4 CV?
The --ar 3:4 ratio is the closest to the standard A4 format (210 × 297 mm). For a US Letter format CV (8.5 × 11 inches), the --ar 17:22 ratio would be more accurate, but --ar 3:4 remains an excellent compromise. Avoid panoramic ratios like 16:9, which would yield an unusable result for a printed document.
How can I get a CV with a readable layout that isn't too artistic?
Use the --style raw parameter and a low --stylize value (between 100 and 250). The raw mode reduces Midjourney's artistic interpretation and produces more literal, structured results. Add terms like 'clean layout', 'minimal', 'corporate design', and 'grid system' in your prompt. You can also use --no artistic abstract watercolor to explicitly exclude overly creative styles.
