That letterpress proof critique in Portland made me stop overusing borders

A printer I swap zines with told me my poster looked like it was wearing a frame inside a frame. They said the double border was doing the work that negative space should do, and honestly they were right. I took their advice and cut all but one border, letting the paper breathe more, and the whole piece felt stronger. Now I force myself to set a timer for 10 minutes and walk away before sending any layout to press. Has anyone else gotten feedback that made you strip back a design habit you thought was your style?
