Wordpress title on featured thumbnail hover?

Hello everyone!

I have my featured posts showing up in my portfolio page just fine, but i can't see to get any hover effects working with them. I want to achieve something similar to this codrops blueprint (http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/CaptionHoverEffects/index3.html).

This is what I have in my template file:

<div class="featured-hover">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?></a>
<span><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></span>
</div>

Anybody know the best way to go about this? I've been trying for a couple hours now and my minds boggled.

Thanks in advance! Matt Lewis

have you read this article: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/06/18/caption-hover-effects/ you have to get your output from wordpress to be the same stucture to the example and then you can apply the right css classes from the example. for example they are using the html element figure and figcaption

if you want more help you need to show your code so we can see where you are stuck.
