Borders

⁠

Overview

The borders are inspired by numismatic elements found on vintage currencies. They can be used to add embellishment to a layout.

⁠

Colors

The borders are available in colors that match the palette of ARC’s three flagship variants. When using these borders, always set the background color to Archipelago Cream ( See Color Palette section).

⁠

⁠

⁠

⁠

Use this border if the layout is set with a dark background (flat color or image).

⁠

Construction

Margin

⁠

The border’s primary purpose is to set the margin for the layout. It must always follow the edges and the border’s distance from the edge of the layout must be twice the thickness of the border. The border thickness can be adjusted by changing the line weight.

⁠

When setting the thickness of the border, make sure to consider its proportion to the entire layout. Within viewing distance, the ridges, dots and line should still be distinguishable from each other. If the border looks like one blurry line, the border is too thin. If you can easily count the number of dots on the border within viewing distance, the border is too thick.
