Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills) vs Illustration: Vintage Emblem (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 Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

The Vintage Emblem skill gives Tally a heritage badge, a sealed envelope inside a stamped emblem, and builds a print-shop brand around it: Anton capitals, Libre Caslon text, cream stock, deep forest ink and terracotta. The dashboard wears the same badge and colors, with Oswald headings. Pick it for brands that want craft, trust and a little nostalgia.

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 runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the badge is drawn in SVG
  • dashboard: the tan and terracotta bars are close in tone
