How should learners test whether character art stays readable after copying it?

How would you help adult learners distinguish an attractive character-art preview from a text layout that is actually usable in its destination? I am considering a short creative exercise about visual communication: participants would choose a non-sensitive sample, turn it into a small character grid, then test whether the outline and spacing survive a move to a document or message. This is a proposed activity, not a report of classroom results.

A browser example is asciiartgenerator.online/ . Its public homepage offers image and text workflows, manual cell editing, copying and exports. The image interface says processing happens on your device and accepts common image formats up to 20 MB. Basic tools and normal exports are described as usable without an account; other features should be checked against current pricing. Character conversion is not anonymization, so I would avoid private photographs and use only permitted images or public samples.

My tentative checklist has three parts: (1) can another person recognize the intended shape without a caption; (2) do spaces and line breaks remain intact in a monospaced destination; and (3) can the creator explain what was simplified or lost? A dense result is not necessarily more informative than a small, clear silhouette. I would also compare a text export and an image export, because they preserve different things: editable characters versus one visual presentation.

What would you add to make the assessment fair for learners with different devices or visual needs? Would you grade the final appearance, the reasoning behind the crop and grid size, or the evidence from the transfer test? I would welcome suggestions for an accessible, low-pressure alternative that does not require participants to share personal images or create extra accounts.
