[HELP] Anyone want to make a 404 page?

(1/2) > >>

Lemon:
So, as it stands right now, going to a bad url will give you a really uninteresting 404 page (http://thefpl.us/here-are-the-boners). I would like for this to be something much more interesting, but at the moment I have absolutely no design in mind for it. If someone would be interested in designing up a 404 page for me, I sure would appreciate it.

I can handle the HTML/CSS myself (unless you have something specific in mind, that's fine too), so if you're not a coder I'd like an Illustrator file of your design, sent to the usual address. A PSD is less good but okay, just please keep in mind varying screen sizes when designing.

Also if you do some original art you want credit for, put it in the design.

If you're looking for ideas, this Tumblr has a whole bunch of great 404 designs

If there's multiple (great) submissions, I'll randomize the 404 result.

And since I'm here, I want to share Teehan+Lax's 404

Ashto:
Is the 404 page going to be displayed in place of the current error page? Meaning that the current sidebar/color scheme also has to be taken into account?

Lemon:
Right, so I'm looking for something to replace this. Everything in the layout can be changed, but I would be hesitant to remove all the persistent elements (meaning the desktop sidebar and the mobile drawer) because those are on every other page. Additional development things (custom javascript, forms, etc) are possible.

Lemon:
Thanks, Ashto
