Nano Banana 2 4 / 10 Rank 13 of 13: the added third hand is a fundamental content error in a task explicitly testing a two-hand handshake. Otherwise polished photography cannot compensate for missing this defining requirement.

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst 9 / 10 A close second, this image combines excellent rendering with the set's strongest emotional storytelling. The slightly washed-out title center and abundance of secondary messaging make it a little less typographically disciplined than the leading poster.
A movie poster for a fictional film titled "The Last Sunrise". Dramatic Hollywood design style. - Nano Banana 2
Nano Banana 2 5 / 10 Despite competent character rendering, this poster has a major hierarchy problem caused by duplicate titles and nested repeated imagery. Because typography integration is central to the task, that design failure weighs more heavily than its respectable surface detail.
