I am trying to make a page border for cover page only (the first page) as shown in the figure.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

Do you want this specific design, or something like that?– chadoulisDec 27, 2017 at 20:27

Hi @RajaAyaz... Are you willing on using tikz package? I think it is the easier way and gives you really much abilities...– koleygrDec 27, 2017 at 20:39

Here is a tikz solution:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,inner sep=0,outer sep=0]
\draw[blue!70!black,line width=4pt] ([xshift=-1.5cm,yshift=-2cm]current page.north east) coordinate (A)--([xshift=1.5cm,yshift=-2cm]current page.north west) coordinate(B)--([xshift=1.5cm,yshift=2cm]current page.south west) coordinate (C)--([xshift=-1.5cm,yshift=2cm]current page.south east) coordinate(D)--cycle;
\draw ([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]A)-- ([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]B)--
([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]B) --([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]B)--([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]C)--([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]C)--([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]C)-- ([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]D)--([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]D)--([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]D)--([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=0.5cm]A)--([yshift=-0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]A)--([yshift=0.5cm,xshift=-0.5cm]A);
\draw ([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]A)-- ([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]B)--
([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]B) --([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]B)--([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]C)--([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]C)--([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]C)-- ([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]D)--([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]D)--([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]D)--([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=-0.3cm]A)--([yshift=0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]A)--([yshift=-0.3cm,xshift=0.3cm]A);
\end{tikzpicture}
\begin{center}
{\Huge Title}\vspace{\fill}
{\Large Author name}\vspace{\fill}
\today
\vspace{\fill}
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

Welcome @RajaAyaz... we could automate it a little bit to have easier adjustable distances... But I think you get the point– koleygrDec 28, 2017 at 6:34

Thanks, I tailored your solution to my needs a little bit and it works perfectly :) Dec 28, 2017 at 9:25
