Description
Sorry this isn't art, I just wrapped up a big stint of freelance work but needed to work on this in time for Amazing Comic Con Aloha (if any of y'all are gonna be on Oahu in 2 weeks stop by table H1 in the Artist Alley and say hi!). Anyways, I'm going through my 1.1 card frame revisions and wanted to see what you folks thought... Should I go with A, which is a more traditional Magic: the Gathering style of border frame with art inside, or B, something like Weiss Schwarz or similar games with full-bleed art going to the edges. I kinda know what I wanna do, I'm more curious what the consensus was here on DA; across social media it's been 50/50 split on average, but some platforms voted more for one over the other.Anyway, yeah, maybe some spitpaints coming in a couple weeks along with an update on some pieces I've been working on, but mostly it'll be wrapping up FOE 1.1 for print and getting everything else prepped for Amazing

B looks better. But thinking of the production, when you dont have the black border( or whiter, or whatever color), you will need a cutting machine that is highly precise, or else part of cards might appear on the cards that were cut from the side of it.

I like B quite a bit aesthetically... However, A-style cards do hold up better if you end up playing with them a bunch (since the card edges tend to scuff if you don't have sleeves, and it's harder to notice little scratches on black.)

I personally like B better, but if you're going after a more classic/traditional style then I would say A definitely fits that style better! Both look really cool honestly!

It depends how you want the card game to come across. If you're going for an old-style classic feel then A is better. If you're going for more technological and futuristic feel, then B is better

I prefer B, looks less busy with the art permeating the card.

B looks pretty neat, but then again, A looks good too xD

I think the "classic look" seems better. Go for A.

They both look awesome, but I would probably pick "A" if given the choice. There's something about the border that makes it feel complete to me. Or at least gives it substance or weight. Without the border, the text box in "B" looks very odd, and the card itself looks quite flat.

I'll the first "A" because I prefer having a border but it's maybe due tot the fact I spent to much time on Magic and it framed my mind. ^^

If you go with B, consider resizing the description box too.
The way it looks now, the art is resized, thus getting more of it hidden under the description box.
Making that box wider should means fewer lines, thus less hidden art - it's as wide as it is exactly because of the standard frame, which would be removed in B.

I'd go for B. It means I can see your art bigger

Hmm...
Well, card A has a classic approach while card B has a more modern approach.
Personally, I think B. Mainly because it allows a bit more of the art to be shown.

i personally prefer B, as it apepars more modern. whereas A is a more classical approach, i would judge it to be dated, belogning to the old card games' designs- moving forward, having more of the art, and having the CSS-floating-button-like elements seems to appeal more.
