Spanish term or phrase: marcan la imposición
En el escaparate, la sombra propia del objeto sirve para definir este volumen y conviene estudiarla con detalle para obtener el máximo provecho del artículo.

Las sombras proyectadas por el objeto **marcan la imposición** de un objeto sobre otro y son especialmente importantes para definir el espacio y crear espacio alrededor del objeto que las proyecta. Modifican el fondo y pueden distorsionar la perspectiva o dar origen a modificaciones cromáticas.
