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 Chicago'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.

Chicago O'Hare International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Chicago O'Hare International has eight runways. On the print they read as two ideas at once, a bank of long parallel strips laid east to west and a pair of runways set on the diagonal that cut across them.
Six of the eight runways run parallel, grouped into two banks that frame the terminal core at the center of the field. Three sit toward the top, counting from 9L/27R down through 9C/27C and 9R/27L, and three run along the bottom as 10L/28R, 10C/28C, and 10R/28L. The two that remain, 04L/22R and 04R/22L, angle across the layout on a northeast to southwest line, the shorter pair whose slant gives the drawing its cross-hatched signature. The longest strip of all reaches 13,000 feet.
The field began in World War II as Orchard Place, an airfield beside a Douglas plant that turned out C-54 transports, which is why its code, ORD, still has nothing to do with the O'Hare name it took in 1949 for Navy aviator Edward Butch O'Hare.
We use published field information to compose the runway, taxiway, and terminal pier from the field's actual geometry, then compose the recognizable tangle of parallels and diagonals as original wall art. The ident block below the diagram sets ORD, the city and state, the field coordinates, and the elevation of 680 feet in clean type. In your chosen colorway, it is a piece for anyone who knows this airfield from the cockpit, the jet bridge, or the window seat, and it hangs well beside Midway, the city's other field.
Chicago (ORD) print, common questions
How many runways does O'Hare have?
Eight. Six run parallel in an east-west orientation, and two more cross the field on the diagonal.
How long is the longest runway at ORD?
The longest runway, 10L/28R, stretches 13,000 feet. The field sits at an elevation of 680 feet.
What does the airport code ORD stand for?
It comes from Orchard, the site's original name as Orchard Field, before the airport was renamed in 1949 for Navy aviator Edward Butch O'Hare. The ORD code stayed, which is why it does not match the O'Hare name.
How does the ORD print relate to the airport's layout?
Published airport information and available field depictions guide the ORD composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
What sizes and finishes are available?
The print comes in several sizes and finishes, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately), physical pieces made to order for your wall.
