Using CSS box-shadow(s) to create 3D Depth, Transitions and Neomorphism

This video will share some ways to use CSS box-shadows to add more depth to elements on the page, and animate hover transitions and more.

This includes things like:

• Introduction to Box Shadows in CSS
• Using Box Shadows to add depth
• Transition the shadow on hover both towards and away from the screen
• Neomorphism and how it works

My favourite type of box shadow:

box-shadow:0px 15px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);

This video will expand on what we learn about transitions in the previous post. If you want to read that, I will provide it in the links below.

I needed to add a drop shadow to an item on my website and was a little surprised to find how little good content there is out there on the topic. Then, I looked on Dev and found your post. This was exactly what I needed and really appreciate how basic you kept it. Great job!
