Box shadows are the primary tool for creating elevation and hierarchy in modern UI design. By layering subtle shadows, you can make important elements "pop" off the page while keeping the overall design clean and professional.
Shadow Properties Explained
- Offset X & Y: Determines the position of the shadow relative to the element. Positive X moves it right, positive Y moves it down.
- Blur: The higher the value, the more diffused the shadow becomes. A blur of 0 creates a sharp edge.
- Spread: Expands or contracts the shadow's footprint.
- Inset: Changes the shadow from an outer shadow to an inner shadow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Spread increases or decreases the size of the shadow relative to the element itself. Positive values make it larger, negative values make it smaller.
Use a high Blur value and a low Opacity for the color. This mimics natural diffused light.
