Image Gallery Navigation

some great examples from this assignment:

"Find an image gallery that uses thumbnail navigation that you think is particularly effective. The gallery doesn't necessarily need to load just images. It can also load videos, animations, interactive elements, sound -- all kinds of media.

Write a paragraph about why you chose this particular gallery and why you believe it is particularly effective. Talk about the over all design, the way the thumbnails are cut, the proportions of the thumbnails to the enlargements and how the page is arranged. Also, talk about the interactivity. Is is interesting interactivity? Why?"
