Lux "Travels to the Edge" with Art Wolfe

SEATTLE, May 18, 2007

The Lux Group, Inc., a Seattle-based online design, development, and content services company, announced today the launch of a new website for internationally known nature photographer Art Wolfe. The new site will support Mr. Wolfe’s new television series, Travels to the Edge.

"Lux is very excited to be a part of this important television program," said Todd Tibbetts, president of Lux. "Everyone here is proud to be helping to spread the word about Art's strong environmental ethic."

The site is located at http://www.travelstotheedge.com. Lux created the entire website, including design, development and unique hosting concerns related to management of such a potentially high-bandwidth site.

Lux also created, wrote, and edited all of the content, from writer interviews with Art Wolfe team members to the final copyedit.

For the multimedia sections of the site, Lux used Adobe Flash in a complex configuration to serve multiple video streams.

Major sponsors for the program include Canon and Microsoft. The program is produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting and distributed by American Public Television.
