The Halloween Invitation

2/2 · 6 takes

The Halloween Invitation

While rendering simple text is no longer a real challenge for today’s SOTA models, this test shows something more interesting: how much visual taste a model has, and whether it can create a layout that feels like it came from a professional designer instead of a basic Canva template (no offense to Canva).

Prompt
“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.”

The Capybara Taxi Driver

The Capybara Taxi Driver

This challenge seems to be difficult for models because it mixes reality with fiction. Most models struggle to keep the taxi realistic or loose instructions like placing the passenger not in the backseat.

Prompt
“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.”

Chalkboard Menu

Chalkboard Menu

This challenge forces models to use one consistent handwritten style across an entire dense menu instead of defaulting to clean printed text for the smaller details, a very common failure that reveals how well they actually understand and maintain stylistic coherence.

Prompt
“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.”
