    Question How to make a good frame for a map?

    Campagne dragon - I've made this map using Saderan's tutorial which was very useful especially for the mountains and hills. I think I still need to improve the naming of cities, and how to place them in the map. In the island for example I fear it looks like a mess of text.

    Another thing that intrigues me concerning maps is the frame and its design. In this one for example I used some decorative celtic knots and incorporated the legend, but I think that framework needs some serious reflection. The frame and it's details reveal much of the caracter and ambience of the world (in this case it's a Dungeons and Dragons like universe) I'm checking to find if there are posts on this subject, didn't find any yet though... So I'd be very interested if any of you have any suggestions

    What kind of symbols to incorporate?
    What should its thickness be? Texture? Colours? etc...
