Borders and beyond

In our new Plaxo eCards release, you’ll find even more ways to add a little personality to your eCards, including one of my favorite new features — custom card borders.

Three of our graphic designers, Christian Bohland, Michael Rowley, and Bill Tani, came up with the designs, playfully exploring borders made of different physical materials and objects. Terry Chay wrote the algorithm to create the borders across cards of all different sizes and Trevor Gattis engineered the eCards customization panel. Didn’t they do a great job?

A metal frame:

A cool gel border:

Prickly barbed wire:

An incomplete puzzle edge:

A spray of sunflowers:

And there’s more to check out! I must warn you, though. They do get addictive. I went a little crazy this morning creating cards for this post and can’t wait to get even more borders up soon…maybe a goth border, shaggy 70′s border, bubble wrap border, bling border…hmmmm…

What new borders would you add to Plaxo eCards?
