Learn how to do a quick Google search.
Sometimes just googling keywords,
or stock photo site(example : Shutterstock, Getty images.. etc - The paid sites are also quite helpful.) searches.
2. I usually stumble upon the resources I need by Googling. But here's another tip.
English language can be searched on all search engines such as Google, Yandex, etc.
- In the West, many users own personal websites.
so you can Port discover diverse and many various and extensive many information on personal sites through Google searches.
“search keyword” site:https://medium.com/
“search keyword” site:notion.site
“search keyword” site:https://www.instagram.com/
“search keyword” site:http://www.pinterest.com/
“search keyword” site:https://www.tumblr.com/
2-1. If wish to search korean websites,
use the DeepL translator to translate English into korean for search keywords. (korean)
This language can only be searched on Google.
- Korea has excellent content uploaded to major platforms like Tistory, Naver Blog, and SNS.
However, if you discover personal sites through Google searches, you can find a wealth of valuable information.
“search keyword” site:tistory.com (korean)
“search keyword” site:https://blog.naver.com/ (korean)
“search keyword” site:https://brunch.co.kr/ (korean)
“search keyword” site:https://www.postype.com/ (korean)
2-2. If wish to search Japanese websites,
use the DeepL translator to translate English into Japanese for search keywords. (japanese)
This language can only be searched on Google.
- Japan has relatively low Network usage fee, so there are many personal websites.
If you translate english-Japanese text using DeepL and then search Google, you can often stumble upon a wealth of information on personal sites.
“search keyword” site:https://note.com/ (japanese)
“search keyword” site:https://qiita.com/ (japanese)
“search keyword” site:https://booth.pm/ (japanese)
"Hatena Blog" found via X (Twitter) or Google search etc (japanese)
2-3. Searching the Reddit site is only possible through Google search!
“search keyword” reddit, “keyword” site:reddit.com
https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/l7jlim/guide_to_google_searches/
Look at the comments.
Unfortunately the Reddit search is atrocious. If you want to search Reddit, use Google. If you have certain interests, or are looking for something specific, chances are if you Google "Your Interest Reddit" you will find relevant subreddits right away.
If you want to see a random mix of popular posts each day, you can switch the timeline to "Popular". You can also sort these by sub-filters like "Rising" or "New".
If you want to see a list of the most popular subreddits, have a look at http://redditlist.com/
a wild idea tip!
Try searching in the top search bar on Reddit.
"Copy" and "paste" the title and part of the content from a post on Reddit or another site into the search bar can help you find useful material.
You can also find good material by searching on Google using this method.
While searching, you can replace the search term with a desired word or one that comes to mind,
or click the “X” icon on the left side of the search bar to search the entire Reddit thread.
Once you get search results, click the desired r/subreddit again and enter the “r/subreddit” search term, or search again on Google.
3. https://yandex.com/
Yandex image search(Yandex search) is more comprehensive than Google. I type brochure design, magazine or what i want.
However, a drawback is that it only supports searches in English and Russian.
3-2. Telegram search (Various things, including the tg channel)
Telegram has some advantages over standard websites, main ones
- Direct download links – almost all these groups store files on Telegram servers, and link is available right in the post, meaning no dead links, no captcha, no redirects with tons of ads, no junk filehostings with 100 kbps speed limits, etc.
- Search in channels is fast and without the need to register on each site
The main drawback is that you need a phone number to register, which may put off many people

and add "-ai" to search if i see too many ai results
5. I primarily utilize this AI tool (website).
(as of December 9, 2025)
To study AI, actively seek out AI information daily.
Whether it's Instagram, Threads, or YouTube, focus is AI.
It's also crucial to take paid courses and continuously experiment with diverse approaches.
Furthermore, constantly apply what I learn to real-world projects (practical work),
and assess how existing projects would change if AI were integrated.

A guide to help you decide whether to use ChatGPT or Google Gemini.
Nevertheless,
Many users are switching from ChatGPT to Google AI Pro (including NanoBanana).
NanoBanana requires a separate API key purchase and connection for use.
You can generate about 25 credits per $1.
For the freepik plan, use the most basic tier, “Premium+”.
freepik has great service, but it consumes too many credits.
However, GenSpark is unlimited.
If you value time and want to run everything simultaneously,
use GenSpark, freepik, and Gemini together.
The reason to purchase and use freepik AI is
to use it when Midjourney AI gives strange responses.
(Midjourney struggles to maintain consistency.
So while it can be used for character references, the quality is also low.
If you haven't finalized your base character creation yet, I recommend trying to complete it in Midjourney.)
The image quality degradation and slight focus issues unique to Gemini AI
can be resolved by using freepik AI or Genspark AI.
This is because you can select the image quality.
Gemini AI currently doesn't support high quality directly (though it may be supported later).
There's also a method using API connection, but I haven't done that.
To create basic characters in Midjourney AI,
if aesthetics are a concern, you must use prompts or features within Midjourney AI to achieve your final desired outcome.
Examples for preserving the original:
Midjourney AI A-material upload settings:
Default settings to prevent original loss
It's best to adhere to the upload image conditions.
Resolution 2000px or higher (front view basis)
PNG recommended over JPEG
Unify character angle to either front or side view
Simpler backgrounds are better (white/solid color recommended)
Points to note when uploading
- If the head, hands, or feet are cut off, the image will be 100% blurred.
- If there are many surrounding objects, the character will not be separated.
Midjourney AI inherently tends to “recreate the original,”
so to prevent this, it commands you to include the following sentence.
However, this is a note I wrote after asking GPT.
keep exact character proportions, do not reinterpret, no redesign, keep original facial landmarks, keep original silhouette, preserve exact colors and markings
Even with this, it absolutely does not guarantee preservation.
It's simply because Midjourney AI itself has too strong a sense of self.
Midjourney AI creates beautiful art, but it has a major flaw: it transforms existing characters into an A-material texture (oil painting, etc.) like an art piece, making them overly blurred.
However, practical application is important, and some people may not want something as artistic as Midjourney AI.
The latest version of Midjourney isn't difficult; if you watch good YouTube tutorials, you can learn it quickly.
After that, you need to practice a lot on your own to improve your skills.
However, if this is an issue, there are no alternatives besides Midjourney AI.
Nano Banana AI lacks artistic sense.
freepik AI offers a variety of generation models,
and the credit deduction rate varies for each AI model.
Midjourney AI doesn't have that issue,
but if you want to use the other generation models reasonably,
freepik AI isn't a bad choice either.
However, freepik AI and Midjourney AI are models with completely different natures,
so the experience can vary greatly depending on how you want to use them.
Midjourney AI excels in aesthetic quality, while Nano Banana AI is used more for
editing or consistency rather than image generation.
Personally, I create images (photos) in Midjourney AI,
and then use Nano Banana AI to expand upon them.
Nano Banana AI itself lacks the ability to automatically make things beautiful on its own.
This is Midjourney AI's unique capability.
Even when using Nano Banana AI with Gemini,
the resolution still feels low. They claim to support high resolution,
but it doesn't feel like it.
That's why some people use freepik AI.
Even though freepik AI also uses the Nano Banana API,
it produces high-quality results, which I personally found useful.
If you use Nano Banana AI frequently,
it's useful to purchase and use freepik AI or Higgsfield AI.
Prompt implementation also works well with Nano Banana AI in freepik AI.
freepik AI allows modifications using a node-based concept like Compy UI,
enabling much faster workflows and letting you freely select and use API models as desired.
Creating one image in Midjourney AI and then using it in Nanobana AI afterward poses no issues.
To elaborate further on the “ComfyUI” AI,
ComfyUI itself is a lightweight program, but the Stable Diffusion model that actually generates the images requires an enormous amount of computation.
Therefore, if you're working with Stable Diffusion, it's highly recommended to learn it.
Since ComfyUI is an installable AI, the generation speed varies depending on your computer's specifications.
Learning it is far superior to any other option.
AI skills improve through frequent creation and experimentation.
Many people likely switched to online tools after finding training too demanding for their computer specs.
Speaking of online tools...
Most AI tools are online-based, except for ComfyUI.
In conclusion,
the sheer number of AI tools these days means subscription costs are hellish. lol.
Since current AI models interpret and create new works rather than just copying,
there's no way around it.
AI updates so rapidly
that you never know what will excel next, making monthly subscriptions the solution.
However, after using it for about a year, you'll get a sense of what works,
Honestly, regarding the advancement of AI tools like "Nano Banana AI",
if you lack foresight into the future of technology,
it's best to just focus on the skills you need right now.
A future where AI tools like "Nano Banana AI" advance and take my job will surely come,
but it's best not to worry about it now.
If the era where my job gets taken away arrives,
it's best to think about it then.
simply find joy in the act of studying and creating something.
If you don't actually enjoy the end result itself,
then even as AI tools like "Nano Banana AI" advance,
it's best to just react with “Oh~ I see.”
so I recommend figuring out what suits you best and using it accordingly.
If you use Photoshop, try the upscaling feature under Neural Filters.
Many people typically do upscaling with Photoshop.
Magnific Precision is said to perform well, and the Topaz series is excellent.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/19TNj80Vc7o
(Korean Tutorial) Here way to use Photoshop AI for free without using credits.
To create AI in Korean, I strongly recommend using “Nanobana AI Tool.”
Other AI tools still have issues where Chinese characters appear and the output becomes strange.
For AI video tools, Kling AI is widely used.
For video generation, Kling AI, Veo3, Sora, GPT, Gemini, etc., can all be used.
Some places use Runway instead of Flow (Veo).
Runway AI has just released version 4.5, which will be available soon.
While I believe it will improve, it's still not quite ready for immediate use in practical work.
The reality is that since the difficulty isn't high and anyone can do it, it's hard to stick to just one.
GPT is frequently used when generating video prompts. It tends to be used as part of a set.
The type of video you're creating matters too. For professional video production, AI tools like Runway or Veo are the go-to.
For SNS promotion, marketing, or graphic design work, Kling AI can be your main tool.
Personal projects in your portfolio aren't that important; what matters are portfolio pieces with commercial relevance.
Midjourney image generation in portfolios is disregarded.
For example, creating an image for a supplement ad using Midjourney, utilizing it, and producing an SNS video
This is how it should be planned and presented to have value, in my opinion.
And, for instance, in the field, customization is absolutely essential, so
Midjourney image concept and background creation
- Customization in Gemini or Seedream (reflecting actual products)
- Advertising image editing
- Utilization for detail pages and videos
We assess the capability to execute this workflow.
In conclusion, designers' roles are becoming increasingly complex, and the reality is that they must handle many tools.
