shadow effect
Cast darkness visual result
Shadow effect refers to visual techniques that create the illusion of depth or dimension by simulating cast shadows.
In graphic design and photography, adding a shadow effect makes elements appear to float above a surface: The logo pops with a subtle shadow effect.
The term also describes blocking phenomena—when one object prevents light, signal, or influence from reaching another: The mountain creates a rain shadow effect on the valley beyond.
