What does it look like to turn the 2027 White House Budget Proposal into an infographic using Gemini 3.1 Flash, Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2? How do features like thinking level (Minimal vs High), Image Search and Google Search Grounding impact the results? Here we will visualize the budget proposal through each of these combinations of settings and models to explore how they impact the results. See which final infographic you think best visually represents the budget proposal.

Let's start by handing the model the budget proposal PDF as-is from the White House website and asking Nano Banana Pro to turn it into an infographic in a single pass:

Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details and be in portrait orientation.

Let's start with Nano Banana Pro 4K:

Now Nano Banana Pro 4K with Google Search Grounding:

Unfortunately, Nano Banana Pro generated only internal errors when we attempted the same process, so we had to first convert the PDF into an image prompt using Gemini 3.1 Pro which yielded the following:

Here is a comprehensive prompt and design brief to create a large-format, portrait-oriented explainer poster based on the FY2027 Budget proposal.

Because AI image generators (like Midjourney or DALL-E) struggle to generate highly complex, legible text perfectly, this prompt is structured as a Master Design Brief. You can use the visual instructions to generate the layout/backgrounds in an AI, and then use the provided text outline to populate the poster using a design tool like Canva, InDesign, or Illustrator.

Eliminates all federal DEI, "equity," and woke ideological programs. Paths to eliminate whole agencies (e.g., Dept. of Education).

Pillar 3: Energy Dominance (Icon: Oil Derrick/Lightning Bolt)

Ends the "Green New Scam," cancels EV subsidies, and expands critical minerals, oil, gas, and nuclear power.

Pillar 4: Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) (Icon: Apple/Caduceus)

Restructures HHS to tackle chronic disease, food safety, and removes harmful chemicals from the food supply.

3. MAJOR STRUCTURAL REFORMS (Middle 15%)

Visual: A flowchart graphic or a "Before & After" schematic showing government reorganization.

Department of Defense 
→

 Renamed to Department of War (DOW).

HHS 
→
→
 Restructured to create the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA).

Department of Education

Nano Banana 2 Minimal Thinking 4K using this prompt yielded:

Nano Banana 2 High Thinking 4K yielded:

Nano Banana 2 High Thinking 4K with Google Search Grounding zeroed out all of the data and yielded this image that is little more than a template:

Let's try a second time Nano Banana 2 High Thinking 4K with Google Search Grounding. This time it worked, offering a reminder that results can vary dramatically from run to run with these models and they can suffer periodic issues, especially with search-related features:

Nano Banana 2 High Thinking 4K with Image Search (Google Search Grounding disabled) yielded the following. In this case it does not appear to have actually changed anything substantive other than add the Presidential Seal at the top of the image (the agency logos were already present in the previous versions):

Nano Banana 2 High Thinking 4K with Google Search Grounding and Image Search both enabled yielded:
