Another example of lightbox use

A few weeks ago when I attempted to create a light box for a website I attempted to use a shadow slider Jquery file in combination with a the Jquery Galleria program. This did not function as both .JS files had conflicting functions in both programs. I opted for a simpler program called Jquery blinds. This utilized a simpler animation of transitory panels, while still maintaining an image of a professional news media or non-profit website. I liked how the smooth animation was coupled with the ability to have multiple instances and the increased ability to function with numerous web browsers. something to consider for the upcoming project.

Example of an efficient interface

In coming across this financial debt graph, I was struck by some interesting factors in the overall design. Not only is the risk status of each country in question color coded but the debt towards each individual nation is tracked and judged by fiscal percentage. This is an especially helpful tool for those that would like to have a clear and concise understanding of the European debt crisis.
