You've probably looked straight past it a hundred times. That rough white border Vox put around nearly every graphic, photo and cutout. Most people copy the fonts, the colours and that little stutter, and their work still comes out looking digital, because the border is the part actually doing the work. In this one we break down why it's there, why it has to be torn and not clean, and what it's quietly doing to the way you trust what's on screen. Have a look, and you'll start catching it everywhere.
