The online portfolio of designer James Childers. This site features an strongly textured background and muted content and a perfect color scheme. All of this lends to the faded look that the designer is going for. As you hover over the images, their opacity slowly transitions to 100%.

This design features a large slideshow as the primary visual. The bright colors stand out really well against the muted gray background. Notice that the little text above the slideshow has a letterpress effect but still remains live. An excellent use of CSS to create traditional Photoshop text effects.
