Elevation

Our elevation system communicates hierarchy, grouping, and interactivity through the use of shadows and depth. It helps users understand the relationship between elements and creates a more tactile, dimensional interface.

Elevation System

Our elevation system uses shadows to create a sense of depth and hierarchy in the interface. Shadow levels increase with visual importance, adding subtle or strong depth depending on context.

Purpose

  • Communicate hierarchy between elements
  • Indicate interactive elements
  • Group related content
  • Create focus on important elements
  • Add visual interest and dimension

Features

  • Four elevation levels for different contexts
  • Consistent shadow properties across components
  • Responsive adaptation for different screen sizes
  • Dark mode support with adjusted opacity
  • Utility classes for easy implementation
