EXAMPLE — MADE WITH THIS EXACT PROMPT

404-Page Ad example ad

THE PROMPT — COPY, SWAP THE BRACKETS, RUN

Vertical 4:5 static ad styled as a website error page — pixel-clean flat UI, huge whitespace, no browser chrome — hijacked by an original CGI mascot who embodies the exact feeling of hitting a dead link. Top-left: quiet grey text wordmark "[BRAND — e.g. Yarno]". Center: an enormous ultra-bold black "404" filling a third of the frame; the middle zero is a ball of sky-blue yarn visibly coming undone. Tangled in its trailing thread stands the mascot: a soft knitted creature the size of a teapot, round worried eyes, tiny mitten hands clutching its own loose strand, one ear beginning to unravel — rendered in tactile felted-wool CGI with visible fibers, sympathetic and politely panicking. Beneath, in medium grey: "Well. This page unraveled." Then the pivot line in bold black: "The 30% off you came for is still holding together." Below: one rounded black button labeled in white "Take me there", and under it tiny monospaced grey text "error: LOOSE_THREAD". Footer: a hairline rule with small grey links "Home Shop Help". Everything except the mascot is played dead straight so the character lands. All text crisp and exactly spelled. No real error-page or animation-studio characters, no orange fuzzy figures, no watermark, no clutter.

HOW TO RUN IT

  1. Paste the prompt into GPT Image and swap the zero for an object with your product's silhouette.
  2. Point the pivot line at a real live offer — this format dies if the deal is fake.
  3. Choose the take with the cleanest kerning on the 404; that one detail carries the realism.
