drop shadow
Fake cast darkness
A drop shadow is a visual effect that creates the illusion of depth by placing a darkened duplicate of an object slightly offset behind it, as if the object were casting a shadow onto a surface below.
Common in graphic design and user interfaces, drop shadows make elements appear to float above the background: The buttons have a subtle drop shadow that makes them look clickable.
