Use Frames and Borders Around Photos

Give mug shots a fancy frame

By , About.com Guide

Frame a photo

Frame a photo with plain or fancy boxes.

If you frame your pictures with a solid line, use the same weight for all the mug shots. Or try something different, such as dots, dashed lines, or a combination of thick and thin lines. Use a frame that echoes other elements in your publication — in color, thickness, or style.
