Our verdict
3/5 out of 5
Passed the cut
The Grainy Gouache skill paints a little bear at a desk in grainy, riso-like SVG and builds a warm Tally around it: pink, vermilion and sand on cream, Fraunces headlines and deep maroon panels. The dashboard keeps the bear and the warm palette. The mobile dashboard scrolls sideways slightly. Pick it for cosy, characterful consumer brands.

Observations
- dashboard mobile: 393 px wide on a 390 px screen, so it scrolls sideways a little
- the runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the art is drawn in SVG
- Fraunces headlines echo the default type even though the palette is far from it

Impeccable

Hallmark
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)
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.

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.
