From illustrations to sci-fi to hyper-realistic images. So everyone knows, I'm using midjourney, and I'm enhancing images with Magnific AI:
It really impressed me how well the glass texture improves the overall images. It totally gives a new perspective to it and clarity.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Nature & Landscapes | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:7
For abstract shapes, I recommend using a lot of HDR. That way, images are very sharp and crisp.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Art & Illustrations | Creativity:1 | HDR:9 | Resemblance:8
The importance with this type of images is not to add too much HDR. While it will look very crisp, it may lose some realism.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Films & Photography | Creativity:2 | HDR:3 | Resemblance:9
I really like how a small amount of HDR can add a lot of detail and texture to walls.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Nature & Landscape | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:7
The thing I love the most about illustrations is how the colors are enhanced with HDR.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Art & Illustrations | Creativity:3 | HDR:3 | Resemblance:9
For 3D renders like this one, it is better to prioritize the resemblance in my opinion. Magnific AI tends to distort some details if this setup is low.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | 3D Renders | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:10
Just a little bit of texture adds plenty of details. Take a close look at her face and hair.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Portraits | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:8
Same here, I recommend using a lot of HDR. That way, images are very sharp and crisp.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Art & Illustrations | Creativity:1 | HDR:8 | Resemblance:9
This one really impressed me. Just look at the details in the clouds, the floor, and mountains. It's just beautiful.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Standard | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:9
Maybe I can explore more of these settings, but still, it looks amazing.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Standard | Creativity:2 | HDR:2 | Resemblance:10
Unfortunately, when there are small faces in illustrations, Magnific doesn't do a good job. But still, the enhancement in the colors is beautiful.
Here is the input I used in Magnific:
2x | Art & Illustrations | Creativity:3 | HDR:1 | Resemblance:5
The amount of details you get in here is insane. It doesn't look that real, but for a product shot, it looks amazing.

Thank you for your time. AI is a growing industry, and at Honter Studio, we are incorporating this technology to improve our clients' experience. Learn more about Honter Studio at: https://honterstudio.com
It has been almost a year since I learned about an amazing designer who productized his services. He became quite famous on Twitter, and now he is making over 100k a month by productizing design. After learning about him, his process, and how he worked, I realized I was essentially doing the same thing as him. I was putting in the same amount of hours, but I was only charging as a plain graphic designer. Inspired by his story, I decided to replicate his methods. I recreated his website, maintaining the same layout structure but with a different design style and different copy. In just 6 months, I improved my work, established an agency, formulated an offer, and began acquiring clients. After 6 months, Honter Studio started generating 20k in revenue, a 75% increase compared to my income as a solo designer.
One of the main reasons for this success was the website. It was very simple yet highly effective. The website includes all the essential sections to make it a compelling platform that provided necessary information. If you have exceptional work, it is guaranteed that your business would take off.
Riding on this success, we created a template that allows anyone to productize their services. The template follows the same layouts and can save you approximately 10 to 15 hours of work. It's designed in Framer, so even if you're not experienced with no-code tools, customizing the template is as easy as changing the copy, adding your preferred colors, and making other modifications.
Whether you want to grow your existing business or transform your profession into a business, this template provides an excellent starting point. As a token of appreciation for reading, enjoy a 50% discount on the template for the next couple of weeks. Use the code: INDIE20K.

Thank you as always, and I wish you great business growth in 2023.
You can have an excellent template to showcase your work on a website. You can even offer your work at an affordable price, or you can emulate the best designers out there. However, what's the purpose of all this effort if, at the end of the day, your work doesn't stand out amazingly? I've come across multiple designers who complain about not attracting clients. Yet, upon visiting their websites, I find their work to be of poor quality, despite having a stunning website template. Having a great template alone won't suffice.
To truly excel, venture out and create exceptional work first. Upload your creations to platforms like Behance or Dribbble to garner views. Dedicate yourself to producing a design each week and spend the entire week refining that design. Engage in research to grasp new trends and incorporate them into your work. One crucial aspect: present your designs beautifully. This single step can catapult you into the top 10% of designers above the average. It might sound unbelievable, but it's accurate. Not everyone possesses the determination to craft outstanding work.
It's amusing every time I encounter unsuccessful designers claiming that a decent life isn't attainable solely through graphic design. If you've faltered as a graphic designer, it's likely due to your inadequacy and lack of initiative. Attending college and studying graphic design merely comprises around 5% of the journey. The remainder requires self-guided learning and daily practice. If triumph is your goal, diligent and intensive effort is mandatory.
Recently, I've realized a crucial factor: I was putting in strenuous effort to enhance my design skills, yet I wasn't doing enough to showcase my work. Neglecting platforms like Twitter was a regret. Twitter, like design, requires constant improvement. Another powerful tool is Behance. In the last two months, I committed to it earnestly to attract more clients. The results were astounding: my project views surged from 12,000 to 35,000, appreciations soared from 700 to 2,500, and my followers multiplied from 300 to 1,200. All this was achieved through consistent updates, with a new upload every week.
The outcome? Five leads, two new clients, and three potential clients who might join our design packages. Therefore, refrain from laziness and prioritize completing your tasks regardless of obstacles. Still skeptical?

Hi fellow indie hackers!
I wanted to share my journey from freelance graphic designer to successful business owner, and how I built Honter Studio, a successful design subscription service that offers unlimited access to a library of design resources for a flat monthly fee.
As a freelance graphic designer, I was always looking for ways to streamline my design process and save time. When I learned about a successful design subscription service that offered unlimited access to a library of design resources for a flat fee, I was immediately struck by the potential of this business model.
I decided to replicate the business model and create my own design subscription service. After researching the market and identifying a gap in the market, I launched Honter Studio. I started by offering a limited selection of design templates and graphics, and gradually added more resources over time.
It wasn't easy at first – there were a lot of challenges and setbacks along the way. But with hard work and determination, I was able to grow my business and start generating revenue.
Today, Honter Studio is a thriving business, with a growing customer base and a steady stream of income. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to turn my passion for design into a successful business using a tried-and-true business model.
Thanks for reading, and I hope my experience has been helpful!
Best regards,
Axel M.
