Give me a guide to Midjourney aspect ratios for different use cases. Cover: 1:1 (Instagram square, profile), 4:5 (Instagram portrait), 3:4 (editorial, portrait), 16:9 (cinematic, desktop wallpaper), 9:16 (Instagram Stories, Reels, mobile), 2:3 (classic photography), 3:2 (landscape photography), 21:9 (ultra-wide cinematic). Per ratio: best use, composition considerations.

Explain Midjourney's --stylize parameter. Cover: stylize ranges (0, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000), when to use each, tradeoffs (accuracy vs creativity), best use cases per range, how it interacts with prompts. Include examples of same prompt at different stylize values.

Explain Midjourney's --chaos and --weird parameters. Cover: chaos (0-100) for grid variety, weird (0-3000) for unexpected aesthetics, when to use high vs low, creative exploration vs commercial use, combining with stylize. Include example use cases.
