claude-design-system-prompt 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.

Tally landing page made with claude-design-system-prompt

This system prompt moves Tally to a cool grey-and-ink look with Bricolage Grotesque, Geist and a lime marker, and the dashboard is clean and well organized. One contrast bug on the closing CTA keeps it from a higher score.

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.

Good fit for
  • B2B and prosumer SaaS
  • fintech dashboards
  • developer-adjacent tools
  • directories and content tools
  • consumer apps
  • education and kids products
  • friendly onboarding
  • community and creator tools
Not great for
  • warm lifestyle brands
  • kids or playful apps
  • luxury
  • serious finance or legal brands
  • enterprise software
  • minimal brands
Flaws we saw
  • landing, desktop and mobile: in the closing CTA the highlighted word "counted." is dark ink on the dark band, so most of it disappears
  • took the longest after hallmark and taste (285 s landing, 263 s dashboard) and used a subagent
  • 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
