Welcome to the 9th in a series of posts where I will test AI image generators and see how they handle making maze art. I will be asking 10 prompts and seeing what gets generated. My goal is to evaluate different AI image sites against each other to see how they perform. If you need to catch-up here is the series so far:
An exploration into Al Image Maze Generation
Making mazes with AI: Stable Diffusion
Making mazes with AI: Dream by Wombo
Making mazes with AI: Nightcafe
Making Maze Art with Canva
Today I test out Canva Text to Image. You can access the website here. You must create an account and sign-in to use the website. Each prompt, or generation will generate 4 images. There are 6 styles to choose from: Concept Art, Photo, Painting, Drawing, 3D, and Pattern. You may also pick the aspect ratio to generate: Square, Landscape or Portrait. All 10 prompts I will use are the same for each site tested !
Prompt 1 - Make a medium difficulty maze of the Eiffel Tower in black and white with arrows at the start and finish
This is the interpretive dance version of the Eiffel Tower I think. You can almost see a bat signal in the clouds.
Prompt 2 - Draw a medium difficulty large maze of the Empire State Building with the start and goal embedded in the structure
2 Empire State Buildings beside each other in black and white with colored pencils on the right side because ?
Prompt 3 - Draw a difficult maze of the White House pixel art style
No maze, but sweet pixelated White House.
Prompt 4 - Draw a difficult maze that looks like a drawing of a famous building in sketch style
I think we can all guess what this famous building is supposed to be, right ? It has volumes and volumes of leather bound books inside.
Prompt 5 - Draw a maze in the style of doyoumaze.com of a skyscraper in NYC
I like this. I know it is supposed to be looking up at a skyscraper, but it could also looking looking out into the far horizon. What do you see ?
Prompt 6 - Draw a maze in the style of Sean C Jackson of a scene from a large outdoor market
You can only buy food at this market if you can get out of the maze. I like that the word ‘season’ is on the sign.
Prompt 7 - Make a maze of a slice of an orange in color
Slices of oranges embedded in the grass ?
Prompt 8 - Make a maze integrated on top of a photograph of a king sitting on his throne looking cantankerous beside his beautiful queen
Not even close. Take a moment to imagine the inside of the castle. That is a steep hillside. Are there really steep steps up ? I mean that looks legit terrible to climb to the top of.
Prompt 9 - Make a solvable maze that is very large and very difficult to solve because it is so complex
Do we have a winner ? Only if you don’t try to solve it. So much first glance potential ! Gotta love first glance potential !
Prompt 10 - Make a 3d render of a red and blue glossy cube maze
Interesting that the maze is in white on top of the cube-like structures. I like the out of focus portion in the back for some reason.
How did Canva do ? Ok. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have how Canva did. How Canva did. It certainly had a large variety of output styles along the way !
