Graphics Challenge: 404 - File not Found

Sunday August 28, 2005
This week's Graphic Challenge is entitled "404 - File not found." Surely while surfing the web you might have clicked on a link which brought you to a dead-end 404 message: The page was moved or the link was wrong in the first place. This can be very annoying when you are looking for something and you thought you found the treasure of your life to then find... a 404 message. It's time for you to get revenge. You design a 404 page. You can do a polite 404, a mean 404, a funny 404, a sad 404, etc. Visit the 404 Research Lab for some inspiration.

There is no starting image this week, and please keep it clean. Create an image based on this theme using any graphics software you like, then post your complete image in the discussion forum and tell us a little bit about what software and techniques you used. This is a great way to experiment and learn from each other. All levels of users are welcome to participate. You can submit as many versions based on the theme as you like. Remember to try and keep your image sizes to 800x600 pixels or less, and 100kb or less.

If you're not sure how to post images as attachments on the forum, see these instructions. If you have an image or theme idea for a future graphics challenge, please suggest them using this form.

Thank you Trinity for suggesting this week's challenge!
