[@JStasia]

Hi Shawn, thank you very much for the lesson. I learned a lot. You showed how to bring attention to the object and at the same time how not to overdo it🙏👍

Newby designer here - I really appreciate that you explained the thought process behind your choices. A lot of the time, I'm just looking at my designs, and I can't put into words why it's just not right haha. Thanks for making this!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Love seeing your processes! Would be great to see how you handle these same components in dark mode

[@shawn.hickman]

Thanks! Maybe I can make a follow up video for dark mode. My approach wouldn't be too different. The only thing I would be more mindful off is making sure there is enough contrast between the background and foreground colors so that you can actually see the shadows.

I liked this one! As someone who came to apps from a programming background with a curiosity for learning design, it was cool to see your how and why here.

You could try a shade of grey
