Tied at 3/5 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, and both design the Maximalist way: loud color, big type, more is more. Both are best for: visual direction, landing pages.

Scroll either page; the other follows.

The Teal Spot skill draws a single hero object, a wallet with coins, in deep teal outline and mint fills, and builds a clean teal-and-white Tally with Bricolage Grotesque and hard teal shadows. The dashboard reuses the object and the palette. The mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for clear, friendly fintech.

The Two-Colour Brush skill draws marker-style scenes in black ink and bright mint, and keeps all of Tally to those two colors on warm paper, with Bricolage Grotesque headlines and mint underlines. The dashboard keeps the character in the summary card. Pick it for friendly products that want a bold, hand-drawn look on a tight palette.

Observations
  • dashboard mobile: 674 px wide on a 390 px screen, so it scrolls sideways
  • the single-hue palette makes the dashboard feel a little flat
  • with only black and mint, the envelope bars are hard to tell apart
  • the runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the art is drawn in SVG
