Need info on Wordpress.

Basically, I'm a Graphic Designer, have been for 2 years now and I have always used Photoshop, Dreamweaver and fireworks for creating sites. I've heard a lot of positive stuff about Wordpress. But could someone explain to me in NOOB terms what Wordpress is, who it is useful for and what all the rage is about. I understand its made mostly for blogs, but im confused?

I'm looking very deeply into getting to grips with wordpress, im unsure of its capabilitys though. For instance, I want to make a portfolio / business website for myself, but i want a fully fuctional, smooth working gallery, as do I want smooth rollover transitions e.g. fade in and out when links are moused over. But is any of this possible within wordpress?
