Hi PH friends! Proud to share this free, homemade collection of trendy 404 page illustrations. We've always thought that 404 pages are a terrible part of the internet - it means that the user is hitting a dead end in their experience. But, that doesn't mean that they can't have a surprisingly delightful experience even in the face of getting a 404. We put together this small collection of trendy 404 images so that it could help you in your next project - hope you enjoy! πŸŽ‰ Enjoy! Eric

Pick a niche. Innovate. Create something beautiful + useful. Win Product Hunt. --> Eric Lu gets it. So many times I've told companies that their 404 experience is jarring and needs work. Now, there's a link I can send them that shows 'the light'. Nice!

@vineet_sinha agreed! Eric Lu working his design genius with this collection 😁
Every time I'm building a new site I hit Google for creative 404 ideas. This is an awesome collection that I'll definitely refer back to.

@jarrod_morris Awesome, so glad that it's useful!

@realericlu Ironic, you broke your own page. πŸ‘πŸ» PS: By the way, I think that a great service would be an API that just returns you a random trendy 404s. I imagine something like just setting up a line of code in the server and you (or whoever builds it) making the magic. In fact, if you are interested, I would like to work on it. Regards!

@realericlu I really like all your illustrations! How about adding some with robots or other Broken machinery? Also, it would be even more exciting if you could make animated GIFs out of these!

This is a good idea but if we use it as images , then uniformity in the pages problem comes right
