Hallmark 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.

Hallmark

4/5

Hallmark turns Tally into a cheerful yellow-and-pastel brand in Plus Jakarta Sans with big ghost numerals, and the dashboard matches it. The most consistent result in the set, but it took about 12 minutes per brief.

Illustration: Outlined Cartoon (Meng To)

4/5

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	landing and dashboard: the mono labels run very small and get hard to read each brief took about 12 minutes (742 s and 722 s), about five times the baseline's 143 s and 125 s	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
