PayZen 404 Error Page
I don't think I fully reflected the project I had in mind on the screen. I aim to correct my mistakes and optimize the project with your feedback.
Project Overview
Client: PayZen Project: 404 Error Page Design Theme: Family Guy Objective: Create a humorous and engaging 404 error page that aligns with the Family Guy theme and makes users smile while guiding them back to the main content.
Design Approach
Visual Design:
- Theme Integration:
- The design prominently features Stewie Griffin, a beloved character from Family Guy, ensuring immediate recognition and connection for fans of the show.
- The color scheme and typography are inspired by the playful and vibrant aesthetic of the Family Guy series.
2.Humorous Elements:
- Stewie Griffin’s image is used to capture attention and add a humorous touch to the error page.
- Dollar bills with wings flying away add a whimsical touch, playing into the fintech theme with humor.
Text Content:
- Humorous Message:
- The message reads: "Congrats, you've found a page as non-existent as my trust fund post-therapy. Let's get you back on track."
- This message leverages Stewie's sarcastic humor and references his character's storyline, enhancing the thematic consistency.
2.Return Button:
- The return button text: "Take Me Home, Griffin!" is a playful nod to the Family Guy theme, encouraging users to navigate back to the main page in a fun way.
User Experience Goals
- Engagement:
- Use humor and familiar characters to create a memorable and enjoyable experience, reducing user frustration typically associated with encountering a 404 error.
2.Navigation:
- Ensure users can quickly and easily navigate back to the main content or find what they were originally looking for.
3.Brand Connection:
- Reinforce the brand’s unique personality and theme, creating a strong and positive association with the PayZen brand.

Your overall idea and copy are humorous, which is a great touch for a point of friction like an error page. But the design feels too frivolous for an app that handles money — it needs to convey trustworthiness. The current typography, color scheme, layout, and overall visual design don’t quite give that impression. I love that you're trying to let the brand tone shine, but it’s important to balance this with the credibility expected from a fintech app. Would be great if you're able to find a way to blend humor with a more polished and trustworthy design!
I appreciate your effort on the 404-page design for the fintech platform. However, I have a few suggestions to enhance its reliability and usability. Since users trust this platform with their payments and funds, the design must convey a sense of security and professionalism. I think a more formal approach would be helpful. While adding some fun elements can make the page more engaging, finding a balance is crucial so it doesn't come across as annoying.
For readability, I recommend using a sans-serif font. The current color contrast seems a bit harsh and might strain the eyes. Have you checked the color contrast of WCAG guidelines? Also, using all caps for text isn't the best choice, as it can be hard to read.
I also noticed some issues with the padding sizes and layout stability. There are some inconsistencies in the element positioning. Addressing these issues will make the composition more stable and visually appealing. I like your idea, but I think a few adjustments could improve the design.
