Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills) vs 3D Metal Material (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 Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills)

Neobrutalism puts Tally on warm off-white with thick navy borders, hard offset shadows and flat yellow and violet blocks. The landing has a CSS phone with sticker-like envelope cards; the dashboard uses a dotted background, yellow highlights on the date and summary cards, and a clean transactions table. It is bold but still easy to read on both pages. Pick it for playful products that want a confident, graphic look.

Tally landing page made with 3D Metal Material (Meng To)

3D Metal Material gives Tally a dark studio look: Instrument Serif headlines with brass accents and a slowly tilting brushed-steel card in the hero, drawn live with WebGL. The dashboard puts the $640 on a machined steel plate and uses steel, brass and copper finishes on the bars and buttons. It feels premium and is consistent across both pages. Pick it when you want one rich 3D centerpiece on a dark product page.

  • low-power devices
  • teams without WebGL experience
Flaws we saw
  • dashboard: the pink and violet chart bars add colors that are not in the rest of the system
  • the run did not check the page in a browser, but our screenshots show no breakage
  • the WebGL card and plate add weight to the page and need a fallback
  • dashboard: the brass on graphite is subtle, so some labels are low contrast
