Geometric Composition

Text-to-Image

“A glass cube on a wooden table. Inside the cube is a small blue sphere. On top of the cube sits a red book. A green plant is behind the cube, partially visible through the glass. Soft window light from the left.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Features a wooden table and a glass cube.
+ Captures soft lighting effectively.

− Failed to place the sphere inside the cube or the book on top correctly.
− Confused the blue sphere with a large blue flower pot in the background.
− Generally blurry and lacks detail.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent adherence to spatial instructions with the sphere inside and book on top.
+ Clear, high-resolution rendering of glass and wood textures.
+ Accurately represents the soft window light and background plant as requested.

− The blue sphere appears to be floating unnaturally without support.
− One side of the cube appears mirrored rather than transparent.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro successfully followed every instruction in the prompt, including complex spatial relationships like placing objects 'inside' and 'on top' of others. DALL-E 2 failed to interpret the prompt correctly, merging the blue sphere into a giant planter and failing to render the red book on top of the cube.

Magic Burger Explosion: Fiery Photorealism Challenge

Text-to-Image

“Ad for 'Magic Burger'. Dynamic, exploded burger with all components (bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce) suspended in mid-air. Emphasize photorealistic detail and a sense of motion. Dark, fiery background with glowing embers. Integrate text: 'MAGIC BURGER' as a prominent title, 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' as a secondary message, and '€6.99' in a starburst, all rendered with a fiery, glowing effect.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Captures the 'glowing embers' and 'fiery' atmosphere through color and lighting.
+ Dynamic sense of motion with particles.

− Text is misspelled and chaotic ('MARGIC BAGUEC').
− Low resolution with significant blurring and artifacts.
− The burger components are unrecognizable and lack photorealistic detail.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering with all requested phrases spelled correctly and stylized.
+ Highly photorealistic textures on the burger bun, patty, and vegetables.
+ Perfect adherence to all prompt elements including the starburst price and exploded view.

− The starburst graphic is a bit simple compared to the high-quality rendering of the rest of the image.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro successfully followed every instruction, providing clear, legible text and a high-resolution, photorealistic 'exploded' burger. DALL-E 2 failed significantly on text legibility and image clarity, resulting in an abstract and messy composition that did not look like an advertisement.

Chalkboard Menu

Text-to-Image

“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ The text has a high-contrast chalk-like texture.

− The text is completely illegible and contains gibberish.
− It fails to follow any specific menu items requested in the prompt.
− The image quality is low resolution and lacks any environment context.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Exceptional text rendering with perfect adherence to the requested menu items and date.
+ Highly realistic chalk texture with natural smudge marks and consistent handwriting style.
+ Excellent composition showing the menu in a believable cafe environment.

− The 'cursive' request for the title is interpreted more as a neat print/script than flowing cursive.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner, demonstrating near-perfect text rendering capabilities by accurately displaying all requested menu items and the specific date. In contrast, DALL-E 2 produced an illegible, low-quality image that failed to follow any of the prompt's linguistic requirements.

The Capybara Taxi Driver

Text-to-Image

“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

− Completely ignores the prompt by generating a black leather bag instead of a taxi scene.
− Terrible image quality with strange artifacts and melted textures.
− Single-subject focus that lacks any of the requested characters or environment.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent prompt adherence including the capybara's outfit, pose, and the businesswoman's expression.
+ High-quality photorealistic rendering with believable lighting and bokeh effects.
+ Rich in specific details like the TLC license on the dashboard and accurate phone-using posture.

− The capybara's paws are rendered with slightly uncanny, human-like finger articulation.
− Minor spelling error on the dashboard plaque ('Licesed' instead of 'Licensed').

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed every detail of the prompt, creating a highly detailed and atmospheric scene that captured the humor of the request perfectly. DALL-E 2 suffered a total failure, producing an irrelevant image of a distorted black bag that bore no resemblance to the prompt.

The Halloween Invitation

Text-to-Image

“Vintage gothic Halloween party invitation. Dark parchment poster, spooky border with webs and thorns, central glowing jack-o-lantern, bats, twisted trees, moody night sky. Add elegant gothic title text saying "Halloween Party Invitation", a small scroll banner saying "You are invited to a night of frights", and event details at the bottom: Date: 30.10.2026 Time: 7pm Location: The Arches, NYC Spooky but polished, cinematic lighting, square format.”

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Captures a strong vintage hand-drawn aesthetic.
+ Includes the requested twisted trees and bats.

− All text is gibberish and doesn't follow the specific wording requested.
− Lacks the central jack-o-lantern requested in the prompt.
− Low visual clarity and poor resolution with significant artifacting.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering, following all specific names, dates, and locations perfectly.
+ Very high cinematic visual quality with polished lighting and textures.
+ Strictly adheres to every prompt element including the thorn/web border and glowing pumpkin.

− The Bats have slightly cartoonish facial features compared to the gothic setting.
− The font on the scroll is a bit modern compared to the gothic theme.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it successfully rendered all the complex text requirements with perfect spelling, whereas DALL-E 2 produced illegible text. Qwen also followed the compositional instructions for the jack-o-lantern and border accurately, resulting in a professional-grade invitation image.

Isometric Miniature Diorama Scenes

Text-to-Image

“Create a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Japan's signature dish: sushi, with soft refined textures, realistic PBR materials, gentle lighting, on a small raised diorama base with minimal garnish and plate. Solid light blue background. At top-center: 'JAPAN' in large bold text, 'SUSHI' below it, small flag icon. Perfectly centered, ultra-clean, high-clarity, square format.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Features a bold, vibrant blue background.
+ Attempted 3D text integration.

− Failed significantly on text rendering, spelling 'Sush' instead of the requested phrases.
− Poor image composition with scattered, unrecognizable objects.
− Lacks the requested 'Japan' text and flag icon.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent prompt adherence with all text ('JAPAN', 'SUSHI') and the flag icon correctly rendered.
+ Perfect isometric miniature diorama style as requested.
+ Clean, high-quality 3D cartoon aesthetic with soft lighting and textures.

− The text is 2D and overlaid rather than being integrated 3D text in the scene, though it follows the top-center instruction.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed every technical and stylistic requirement of the prompt, including complex text rendering, the flag icon, and the specific isometric diorama composition. DALL-E 2 produced a cluttered, incoherent image with misspelled text and failed to include the primary keywords requested.

Adorable Baby Animals in Sunny Meadow

Text-to-Image

“Hyper-photorealistic scene of fluffy baby animals—a golden retriever puppy, tabby kitten, baby bunny, and red fox kit—with big expressive eyes and ultra-detailed soft fur, playfully chasing butterflies and tumbling together in a lush wildflower meadow, warm golden sunrise light with god rays and dew sparkles, joyful wholesome vibe, 8K masterpiece.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Successfully included multiple animal types in the scene.

− Low image resolution with significant compression artifacts.
− Anatomical distortions in the kitten's paws and the butterfly's wings.
− The lighting lacks the requested 'god rays' and 'dew sparkles'.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent adherence to all prompt elements, including the specific list of animals and atmospheric lighting.
+ High visual quality with realistic fur textures and sharp details.
+ Beautiful composition with a clear morning light and god rays effect.

− The fox kit has a slightly oversized, bushy tail for its age.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it perfectly captures the complex request for four specific baby animals interacting with high-quality rendering. DALL-E 2 produces a dated image with significant anatomical errors, blurry textures, and poor lighting that fails to meet the '8K masterpiece' requirement.

Vintage Cafe Logo

Text-to-Image

“Vintage minimalist restaurant logo for "Caffè Florian", retro cloche dome with steam and "Est. 1720" banner, classic typography, warm brown and cream tones, subtle texture on light background, vector emblem style.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Followed the color palette and background request.
+ Minimalist approach to the cloche icon.

− Text is completely illegible and nonsensical.
− Failed to include the requested banner.
− Vector style is messy with jagged edges and artifacts.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent typography with high legibility.
+ Accurately included all requested elements: cloche, steam, and banner.
+ Clean vector emblem style with professional-looking gradients and texture.

− Slight spelling error in 'Floriian' with an extra 'i'.
− Line weights on the banner edges are a bit inconsistent.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it successfully rendered most of the text and all design elements like the banner and steam. DALL-E 2 failed significantly on text rendering and composition, producing a cluttered and illegible emblem.

Apollo 11: Journey to Tranquility

Text-to-Image

“Create a clean, modern vector infographic poster about the Apollo 11 mission. NASA-inspired palette (navy, white, muted red, light gray). Flat-vector style, crisp lines, consistent iconography, subtle gradients only. Steps (stop at landing): 1. Launch (Saturn Vicon) 2. Earth Orbit (Earth + orbit ring icon) 3. Translunar (trajectory arc icon) 4. Lunar Orbit (Moon + orbit ring icon) 5. Descent (lunar module descending icon) 6. Landing (lunar module on the surface icon) Small supporting elements (minimal text): • Crew strip: three silhouette icons with only last names: Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins. • Landing site marker: Moon pin labeled "Tranquility" only. Layout constraints: generous margins, large readable labels, clean background with subtle stars. Vector-only, print-poster look, high resolution.”

DALL-E 2

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

DALL-E 2

+ Captures the technical, dense look of a vintage blue-print style infographic.
+ Correctly uses the requested NASA-inspired color palette.

− Text consists of gibberish and misspells 'Apollo' as 'ALLPOO APPLOO'.
− Fails to follow the logical 6-step sequences requested in the prompt.
− Lacks clean icons and coherent visual flow.

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Perfect adherence to the 6-step sequence with matching iconography and legible text.
+ High visual quality with a professional, clean vector aesthetic.
+ Clever inclusion of extra details like the crew names and the Tranquility Base location.

− The trajectory arc slightly bypasses the planets rather than connecting them in a logical loop.
− Uses a slightly broader color palette than the one strictly requested (includes gold/yellow).

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it perfectly executes the complex 6-step infographic requirement with legible, accurate text and clean icons. DALL-E 2 fails significantly on prompt adherence, producing gibberish text and a nonsensical layout that does not represent the requested mission stages.
