Overview

The premiere issue of Midjourney Magazine, published March 2023. This is the unnumbered first issue, produced during the V4 model era — a genuine artifact from the moment generative image-making went from curiosity to cultural force. Large format, heavy stock, printed to show the work properly.

What makes the first issue interesting isn't just that it's first. V4 output has a distinct look that later versions moved away from. This issue documents an aesthetic that no longer exists.
