I want black-and-white illustration cutouts placed over a colorful band with a clear drop shadow so the headline reads from across the classroom. I need a quick diagnosis: should the shadow be soft or hard to keep legibility, how much offset is safe so the shadow doesn't clash with the band color, and what layer order will keep type crisp without extra printing registration issues?
