But, with the right implementation, you’ll add a creative flair to your project.Īdding dramatic hover effects to your site is a great way to grab a user’s attention. Since it’s a bit complicated, it may not be something you’d want to use repeatedly on a page. This snippet shows various ways to “split” an image into strips, thus clearing the way for a secret message. Here we have a fun technique for revealing text behind an image.
