Minimize Border Usage

When seeking to establish visual separation between interface elements, resist the instinctive tendency to immediately implement borders.

While borders effectively differentiate adjacent elements, they represent merely one approach among several alternatives. Excessive border implementation can result in visually congested and cluttered interfaces.

This technique proves most effective when the element receiving the shadow differs chromatically from its surrounding background.
