Description

Surface 51 is one of the smaller boutique agencies/design studios that have recently popped up in Champaign-Urbana. Owned by Al Fleener (a Parkland alumni) and staffed with graphic designers (two of them are also Parkland alumni), Surface 51 has a distinct contemporary style that's bold and elegant at the same time. On this field trip, we'll be able to talk with the designers, view samples of their work and discover their formula for success.
