Ex Libris

EX LIBRIS is a hybrid library and exhibition space. Created by and for Pratt GradComD students, it is an evolving, versatile and collaborative project. EX LIBRIS is Latin for "from the library of." The current book collection, Begin Anywhere, marks the first of what we hope will become many biannual student-curated exhibitions, selected from our own libraries and the libraries of others.

Find out more information about the books we've chosen, and the project, here–http://exlibris.prattgradcomd.com–or come visit the space itself! And, most importantly: come celebrate the first of what we hope will be many library/exhibitions in our studio tomorrow evening, from 7–8PM.

Spring 2012 Design Lecture Series

The speakers have been announced and the dates are set, so mark your calendars for what promises to be a great lecture series.

GradComD Students Find a Wealth of Experiences in Copenhagen

It is common for students of the fine arts to spend time abroad studying the works of great artists, but where can design students go for a similar cultural immersion? Four Pratt GradComD students discovered this past summer the answer is Copenhagen, Denmark. Scandinavian design delivers a renowned modern aesthetic across all design facets and their utilitarian design approach makes the region a great place to take on further design studies.

Pratt Institute’s Graduate Communications + Package Design (GradComD) programs have been educating graphic and package designers for over 40 years. We currently offer a 60-credit Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree and a 48-credit Master of Science (MS) degree. Located in Manhattan, the program is ranked in the top 10 of over 200 graduate design programs in the nation, as reported in U.S. News & World Report rankings.
