Two design skills · both proven

brand vs canvas-design

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work.

Brief: “Build the one-page site for Blue Hour, a monthly jazz night at a small club: a poster-style hero with a drawn inline SVG illustration, the lineup with short bios, the schedule, a photo-strip section drawn with SVG, ticket tiers, and a footer with the address. Make it feel like a printed poster brought to the web, with motion.”
