Visual Depth and Spacing Techniques — What It Reveals About Shadowboxes Most shadowboxes don’t fail because of what’s inside them. They fail because of how depth is handled. When spacing is wrong, everything inside the shadowbox starts competing for space instead of working together. That leads to: • Fabric pressed against the glass • Items overlapping or visually colliding • Uneven depth that creates distortion • Shadows falling in the wrong places The result? A display that feels flat… crowded… and unbalanced. Visual depth and spacing techniques reveal something critical: Shadowboxes are not just containers. They are layered systems. At Picture Worth Custom Framing, every shadowbox is engineered with controlled spacing that protects and elevates each element. We focus on: • Proper depth calculation based on item thickness • Even spacing between all layers • Separation that prevents compression and distortion • Controlled shadowing that enhances clarity Because when everything has space… everything becomes easier to see. And when a display is clear, balanced, and structured— it holds more value.
