Lingo (Awesome Design Skills) vs Illustration: Outlined Cartoon (Meng To)

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, Landing pages.

Tally landing page made with Lingo (Awesome Design Skills)

Lingo makes Tally look like a language-learning app: Nunito everywhere, bright green buttons with a chunky 3D bottom edge, rounded cards and a friendly envelope mascot. The dashboard has a smiling coin next to the "Left to budget" card and color-coded envelope icons. It is cheerful and very consistent across both pages. Pick it for friendly consumer products aimed at beginners.

Tally landing page made with Illustration: Outlined Cartoon (Meng To)

The Outlined Cartoon skill draws its own SVG people and objects, with thick black outlines and flat yellow, periwinkle, red and green fills, and builds the whole page around them: chunky Bricolage Grotesque, hard offset shadows and sticker-like cards. The dashboard keeps the cartoon, down to a little character in the summary card. Pick it if you want a friendly, playful product that looks hand-made.

Flaws we saw
  • the mascot and bright green can feel childish for a money app
  • dashboard: the many colored chips and badges compete for attention
  • the runs take far longer than the web-design skills, because every illustration is drawn by hand in SVG
  • the hard offset shadows on every card make long pages busy
