Shadow for Figma

Shadow UI component patterns

Use shadow patterns to organize subtle elevation and separation between interface layers. Keep the relevant state and next action clear so the component is easy to scan. Align labels and visual priority with the screen around it.

Shadow variants and interaction states

Use drop shadows sparingly to show elevation and layer order, with a consistent scale across cards and overlays. Keep labels concise and use spacing or icon cues to reinforce the message without relying on color alone.

Design shadow patterns for product UI

In Figma, compare the component variants in a real product screen. Check spacing, contrast and labels across relevant states, then adapt the pattern to the team's design system. Document the selected variant and relevant states so the pattern stays consistent across screens.
