Bold (Awesome Design Skills) vs Pac-Man (Awesome Design Skills)

Tied at 4/5 on the same brief. Pick by fit: the rows below show where each one is stronger.

Both built the Tally landing page in the same Claude Code test. Shared tasks: Visual direction.

Tally landing page made with Bold (Awesome Design Skills)

Bold gives Tally a poster: huge uppercase Archivo Black headlines, thick black borders with hard offset shadows, a blue-and-yellow accent pair and a tilted phone in the hero. The dashboard keeps the same voice with a black sidebar, a big black "spent so far" card and striped red for the over-budget envelope. Both pages read clearly and work on a phone. Pick it when you want a product page that shouts.

Tally landing page made with Pac-Man (Awesome Design Skills)

Pac-Man turns Tally into an arcade cabinet: black screens, blue dotted maze borders, Press Start 2P headings and power-pellet yellow buttons. The hero is an arcade screen with envelope budgets as pellet bars, and on the dashboard a little Pac-Man chomps along each envelope while the over-budget one gets ghost styling. The theme is committed and still readable. Pick it for playful or gaming-adjacent brands.

Good fit for
  • consumer apps with a loud brand
  • launch and campaign pages
  • SaaS landing pages
  • product dashboards that need personality
  • gaming and hobby products
  • playful consumer apps
  • hackathon and side projects
  • event or campaign pages
Not great for
  • quiet enterprise tools
  • luxury or editorial brands
  • dense data tables
  • serious finance or B2B products
  • accessibility-first products
  • long reading pages
Flaws we saw
  • landing: the hero headline is so large that the value line and buttons sit low on a laptop screen
  • dashboard: heavy borders on every card make the page feel busy in long lists
  • pixel headings get hard to read at small sizes
  • monospace body text makes the landing feel dense in places
