Having worked with corporate and startup clients, I believe that the most important thing is to set up a proper design workflow, rooted in agile principles. This means prioritizing delivery over trying to make the designs perfect and working together with your teammates and clients rather than trying to make a good impression with a big design reveal. Frequent delivery and testing with users will often reveal that you have bigger fish to fry than those drop shadow properties.
