📌 Why this matters
Adding shadows to text boxes and shapes transforms flat presentations into visually engaging experiences that hold your audience's attention.

This technique mimics how professional designers create visual separation and emphasis without cluttering slides with extra colors or graphics. When presenting virtually or projecting onto screens, shadows ensure your content remains readable and impactful even under poor lighting conditions or low-resolution displays.
