Our verdict

4/5 out of 5

Passed the cut

Pac-Man turns Tally into an arcade cabinet: black screens, blue dotted maze borders, Press Start 2P headings and power-pellet yellow buttons. The hero is an arcade screen with envelope budgets as pellet bars, and on the dashboard a little Pac-Man chomps along each envelope while the over-budget one gets ghost styling. The theme is committed and still readable. Pick it for playful or gaming-adjacent brands.

Observations

  2. monospace body text makes the landing feel dense in places

Artistic (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Artistic sets Tally as an Art Deco poster: Limelight display type, JetBrains Mono body text, navy and white sections and solid blue and violet blocks with hard offset shadows. The dashboard keeps the dark sidebar, thick outlines and big colored summary blocks. It has a real point of view, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for expressive, poster-like brands.

Bold (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Bold gives Tally a poster: huge uppercase Archivo Black headlines, thick black borders with hard offset shadows, a blue-and-yellow accent pair and a tilted phone in the hero. The dashboard keeps the same voice with a black sidebar, a big black "spent so far" card and striped red for the over-budget envelope. Both pages read clearly and work on a phone. Pick it when you want a product page that shouts.

Brand Guidelines (Anthropic)

Skill · Brand and logoGitHub stars 182k

Brand Guidelines dresses Tally in Anthropic's own brand: near-black, warm off-white, orange, blue and olive, with Poppins headings over Lora body text. It's clean and consistent on both pages, but it's another company's look, and a 'Bank synced' card covers the hero balance. Pick it only if you want that Anthropic style.

Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

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.
