That’s great for adding some basic effects to your text and containers. But it’s also possible to go above and beyond. With CSS, you can create some seriously impressive shadows that rival those found in tools like Photoshop.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
