carousel nav best practices?

Depend (I know...)

- how does it relate to other navigation on the site
- what is the content make up in each feature
- how do they animate?
- is there a visual metaphor for the scroll (e.g. a continual bar, a next arrow) that would effect the mental model?

• etc
  - etc.
  
  You get the picture.
  
  Do you have designers? What do they think - I'm a big fan of collaboration across disciplines on these kind of things.

Client X, an editorial content site, wants a carousel on their
homepage to display 4-5 content features.

Goes under the nav on the left side (2 columns wide).

Question: within the carousel module, should navigation among features
be on the bottom (horizontal alignment) or on the right side of the
module (vertical alignment)?

I do have an opinion, which I'll post after a bit, but am hoping for
some validation ; )

thanks in advance
