Speaking of shade

Just a little update...

One of my beta testers made a really good point. Well, in fact, they all make really good points, but i felt this one particularly interesting. " can I suggest throwing some drop shadows in? it would aid in nailing that photo-realistic look...".

Why didn't i think of that?!?!? I mean, it's obvious!!

These are the things we can miss as developers. Getting so caught up in construction and bigger picture that sometime the smallest details elude us.

Again this is just one of many good idea I've been given, but the difference it has made is HUGE.

Conclusion: Don't be afraid to ask for help and opinions. Asses their relevance, implementation and implications. Do it. Do it.
