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).

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.”
