Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Champaign/Urbana's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

University of Illinois/Willard Airport Runway Diagram Print
University of Illinois/Willard works three runways, which is a lot of pavement for a field this size and it makes for an unusually good diagram. Runway 14L/32R is the long one at 8,101 feet by 150 feet, with the much shorter 14R/32L running parallel to it at 3,816 feet by 75 feet, and 04/22 set off at its own angle at 6,502 feet by 150 feet. Plotted to scale from the published runway data, the parallel pair reads as a long line shadowed by a short one, with the third runway cutting the sheet on the diagonal. Field elevation is 755 feet, and the magnetic variation of 3W goes small in the corner the way a chart carries it.
The airport belongs to the university. It is owned and operated by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and named for Arthur Cutts Willard, a former president of the school, and it sits south of Savoy in Tolono Township, Champaign County. It was dedicated on October 26, 1945, airline flights started in 1954, and by 1969 it was the second busiest airport in Illinois. The terminal in use today opened in 1987. Until 2014 the field also housed the university's Institute of Aviation, a research and pilot training operation whose flight instruction moved to Parkland College.
Willard is also where Air Force One got stuck in the mud. On January 21, 1998, after President Bill Clinton spoke at the university's Assembly Hall, the aircraft turned from the ramp onto the main taxiway through an unusually sharp feeder angle, the right main gear ran off the pavement into soft turf, and a backup aircraft had to come get him. The diagram does not tell that story. It gives you the field itself: three runways, their designators, the proportions between them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions and set on a ground tone you choose. As of 2026, over the twelve months ending in February, the two busiest routes out of CMI were Chicago O'Hare and Dallas Fort Worth, both flown by American, so a fair number of people know this layout from the window seat.

How does the CMI print relate to the airport's layout?

Several sizes, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately), and a range of ground tones so the piece suits the wall it goes on. Physical pieces are made to order with free US shipping.
