Abstract: We introduce DEsignBench, a text-to-image (T2I) generation benchmark tailored
for visual design scenarios. Recent T2I models like DALL-E 3 and others, have
demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating photorealistic images that
align closely with textual inputs. While the allure of creating visually
captivating images is undeniable, our emphasis extends beyond mere aesthetic
pleasure. We aim to investigate the potential of using these powerful models in
authentic design contexts. In pursuit of this goal, we develop DEsignBench,
which incorporates test samples designed to assess T2I models on both "design
technical capability" and "design application scenario." Each of these two
dimensions is supported by a diverse set of specific design categories. We
explore DALL-E 3 together with other leading T2I models on DEsignBench,
resulting in a comprehensive visual gallery for side-by-side comparisons. For
DEsignBench benchmarking, we perform human evaluations on generated images in
DEsignBench gallery, against the criteria of image-text alignment, visual
aesthetic, and design creativity. Our evaluation also considers other
specialized design capabilities, including text rendering, layout composition,
color harmony, 3D design, and medium style. In addition to human evaluations,
we introduce the first automatic image generation evaluator powered by GPT-4V.
This evaluator provides ratings that align well with human judgments, while
being easily replicable and cost-efficient. A high-resolution version is
