The Halloween Invitation

Vote

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).
