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.”

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent adherence to lighting instructions with a clear directional window light.
+ Clean and elegant composition with realistic wood texture.

− The blue sphere is floating physically impossible within the cube.
− The perspective of the cube base seems slightly skewed relative to the table.

Qwen Image 2512

+ More realistic physics as the sphere rests on the bottom of the cube.
+ Great attention to detail with reflections of the sphere on the inner glass surfaces.

− The red book is slightly cut off at the top of the frame.
− The cube has a strong teal tint that makes it look more like thick plastic or sea glass than clear glass.

Verdict: Both models followed the complex prompt perfectly, including the spatial relative positioning of the plant and book. Qwen Image 2.0 Pro has better framing and lighting, but Qwen Image 2512 produces a much more realistic interaction between the objects and their reflections, as the sphere is grounded rather than floating.

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.”

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text legibility and alignment.
+ High levels of photorealistic detail on the meat and bun textures.
+ Clean, professional composition suitable for a commercial ad.

− The '€6.99' starburst utilizes a flat graphic style that doesn't match the fiery theme as well as the other text.
− The 'exploded' effect is quite rigid and vertical, lacking a sense of chaotic motion.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Better sense of dynamic motion with debris and ingredients flying outward.
+ Integrated the fiery effect much better into the price starburst.
+ More complex and layers texture with additional ingredients like onions and visible sauce splatters.

− The word 'TIME' is missing from the secondary message 'LIMITED ONLY'.
− The burger ingredients are partially overlapping, reducing the 'exploded' clarity compared to Model A.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro produces a cleaner, more legible advertisement with perfect text adherence, though its starburst element feels slightly out of place. Qwen Image 2512 offers a more dynamic and visually exciting composition with better thematic integration of the price tag, but fails the text prompt by omitting a word. Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the likely winner for its reliability in a professional ad context.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent chalk texture with realistic smudging and dusting on the board.
+ Flawless spelling of all menu items and dates.
+ Very natural and consistent handwriting style that truly looks hand-drawn.

− The title is in a clean sans-serif style rather than the 'elegant cursive' requested in the prompt.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Successfully applied an elegant cursive style to the heading and sub-items as requested.
+ Good layout and framing within the chalkboard borders.
+ Creative and visually appealing letterforms.

− Spelling error in 'Risitto' (should be Risotto).
− Handwriting looks slightly more like a digital brush than physical chalk compared to the other model.
− Minor artifacting in the chalk dust patterns.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed the spelling and texture requirements perfectly, creating a highly believable chalkboard, though it missed the specific request for cursive in the title. Qwen Image 2512 followed the stylistic request for cursive better, but it failed on technical execution by misspelling 'Risotto'.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent photorealism with cinematic lighting
+ Accurate depiction of a New York 'TLC' license label
+ Highly coherent and detailed textures on the capybara's fur and clothing

− The passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat instead of the 'back seat' as requested

Qwen Image 2512

+ Correctly places the passenger in the back seat per the prompt
+ Captures the bored expression of the woman very well
+ Good focus and lighting on the capybara's face

− The steering wheel and hands (paws) look slightly more artificial/plastic compared to Model A
− The capybara's hands look more like human fingers in gloves than animal paws

Verdict: Qwen Image 2512 is the winner because it adhered to the spatial requirement of placing the passenger in the back seat, which is crucial for the composition. While Qwen Image 2.0 Pro has slightly superior textures and realistic lighting, it failed the simple instruction of seat placement by putting the businesswoman in the front.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering with perfect spelling across all fields.
+ Distinct and detailed illustration of fruit-bats and thorns.
+ Well-defined green lighting that adds a unique ghostly atmosphere.

− The transition from the central scene to the border feels slightly like a cutout.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Atmospheric moody blue/teal night sky with great depth.
+ Gothic typography matches the theme very well.
+ Seamless integration of the trees and background into the layout.

− Significant spelling error in the main title ('Hallowern').
− Small bats are less detailed compared to Model A.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner because it followed all textual instructions perfectly without spelling errors. While Qwen Image 2512 has a slightly more cinematic background and cohesive composition, the prominent typo 'Hallowern' in the main title makes it unusable as an invitation.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent typography rendering with clean, professional fonts.
+ Accurate adherence to the 'raised diorama base' and 'minimal garnish' instructions.
+ Perfect centering and clean composition.

− The text layout places the flag between the words, slightly deviating from the 'small flag icon' positioning intended after or near the text.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Rich, appealing 3D textures on the sushi and garnish.
+ Creative inclusion of wasabi and ginger to fill the scene.
+ Good color palette and lighting.

− The text style is bubbly rather than 'large bold', and the flag sits in a white box next to the word 'SUSHI'.
− Includes significantly more garnish/detail than the 'minimal garnish' request.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed architectural prompts like 'minimal garnish' and 'large bold text' more accurately, resulting in a cleaner, more professional look. Qwen Image 2512 has more vibrant and detailed 3D modeling for the food itself, but its typography and composition feel less like a polished graphic design.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent adherence to the 'tumbling' and 'playing' action requested.
+ Highly realistic lighting with distinct god rays and dew sparkles on the grass.
+ Natural anatomy and proportions for the fox kit and puppy.

− The bunny is slightly less detailed compared to its companions.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Centrally balanced portrait-style composition.
+ Vibrant colors and very high detail on the animals' faces.
+ Perfectly captures the 'expressive eyes' requested.

− The animals are sitting still for a portrait rather than playing or tumbling.
− Anatomical issues with the fox's oversized ears and the kitten's merging limb.
− Lighting feels slightly more synthetic compared to Model A.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the winner because it successfully captures the movement and interaction described in the prompt (tumbling and chasing) while maintaining high photorealism. Qwen Image 2512 produces a charming image, but it opts for a static family portrait style that misses the dynamic 'playing' and 'tumbling' requirements.

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.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Clean vector-style execution
+ Correct primary colors and minimalist aesthetic
+ Accurate establishment date placement

− Spelling error in the main name ('Floriian')
− Steam illustration is a bit too simple, looking more like a graphic mark

Qwen Image 2512

+ Perfect text rendering for both the name and the date
+ Excellent vintage artistic detail with cross-hatching
+ Dynamic and well-integrated steam element

− The 'Est. 1720' is on a scroll rather than a traditional banner, slightly deviating from a flat vector style

Verdict: While Qwen Image 2.0 Pro captures the 'minimalist' aspect of the prompt well, it fails on basic spelling with an extra 'i'. Qwen Image 2512 produces a much more professional and aesthetically pleasing logo with perfect typography and superior artistic detail, making it the clear winner.

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.”

Qwen Image 2512

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering with no spelling errors.
+ Visual flow logically follows the mission path from top to bottom.
+ Clean iconography and a balanced, professional layout.

− The Saturn V rocket illustration is a bit small relative to the other steps.
− Minor iconographic repetition in the crew section at the bottom.

Qwen Image 2512

+ Strong title branding with 'APOLLO MISSION' header.
+ Detailed and accurate illustration of the Lunar Module.
+ Good use of the requested NASA-inspired color palette.

− Severe spelling and numbering errors in the sequence labels (e.g., 'Translaurtcoit', 'Desceeint').
− Confusing layout with steps 2 and 3 appearing twice and misplaced labels.
− Literal inclusion of the phrase 'Steps stop at landing' inside the design.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it provides a coherent, professional infographic with perfect spelling and a logical mission flow. In contrast, Qwen Image 2512 suffers from significant text hallucinations and a disorganized layout that repeats mission steps incorrectly.
