CMF Design Workflow: Iterate Faster with Adobe, MidJourney, + Magnific

We have a new workflow to share with you! This process is ideal for CMF experimentation on an existing form. The steps are as follows.

1. Create rough shapes: Start by creating an underlay in your preferred tool. In this example, I used Adobe Illustrator’s Image Trace tool to generate the underlay.
2. Export and input: Use the underlay as input for MidJourney’s Edit feature.
3. Retexture: Apply various style reference images and prompts to achieve different results.
4. Upscale: Finalize the design by upscaling in Magnific.

We like this approach because it allows the designer to focus on proportions, profiles, and design elements, blending human creativity with machine efficiency.

Here’s another example where Hector recently used this method to experiment with soccer cleats.

This flow results in a super wide range of possibilities while keeping time investment low. Try it with your own product in mind and let us know how your thoughts.
