Design Techniques

Creating Depth

  • • Large offset + large blur: Strong dimensionality
  • • Dark colors: Natural shadow effects
  • • Semi-transparent colors: Soft shadow representation

Special Effects

  • • 0 0 blur color: Glow (luminous) effect
  • • Multiple shadow combinations: Complex effects
  • • Contrasting colors: Neon sign effect
  • • Negative offsets: Reverse lighting effect

Practical Use Cases

  • • Headlines: Drop shadows for strong impact
  • • Button text: Subtle shadows for readability improvement
  • • Logos: Special effects for brand identity enhancement
  • • Banners: Glow effects to increase visual attention
  • • Navigation: Highlights for current page indication

Accessibility Considerations

  • • Maintain sufficient contrast ratio between text and background (WCAG standards)
  • • Prevent readability degradation from shadows
  • • Don't rely solely on color for information delivery
  • • Check display status in high contrast mode
  • • Consider accessibility settings for animated shadows

Performance Optimization

  • • Excessive blur values can affect rendering performance
  • • Use multiple shadow layers carefully
  • • Utilize GPU acceleration for animations
  • • Conduct performance testing in mobile environments
