I've been working for the past few weeks on a new design for Joomla!. I had not really delved into how to create a "beyond-the-standard" look of a module, with expanding images. So, let me explain how to do it for all of my fellow Noobs.
First, there is some good documentation on the Joomla site - access "Tutorial: Using Class Suffixes in Joomla 1.5." This tutorial will teach you how to add a suffix in the administrator backend of your site > Extensions Menu > Modules > Choose a Module > Parameters on right of module set-up.
Go, read that, really!
Second up is how to really create the graphic you'll need.
