ART AND DESIGN COURSES
Design
Typography I
Introduction to Graphic Design
Study the foundation of graphic design as a
communication tool and learn the importance of graphic design as an informative
and promotional presence in commerce
and society. What is the designer’s role as
a communicator and innovator of design?
Develop the creative, technical, and business
skills needed to reach a specific target audience. Learn the steps to create a project
from concept through execution. Improve
the visual quality of the final artwork through
the use of high-resolution imagery and
dynamic composition.
Explore the potential and expressive qualities of typography by understanding the elements of basic typography. A strong emphasis will be placed on the use of typography as
a design language with color, illustration, and
photography. Learn computer and handson methods for effective application of this
language. “Real-life” assignments will be
given and will focus on all aspects of design,
including the concept and presentation of
logos/stationery, book jackets, and editorial.
We will cover all historical type families and
variables for choosing the right typeface
for a particular project. The type should
“talk.” The key is the relationship between
the elements and the type to be established
throughout the design process. In the design
development stage, a tracing pad and markers are required for the sketching of ideas,
which will be used as guidelines for execution of the final project on the computer.
What is the difference between high-resolution and low-resolution (including the Internet) imagery? Develop high-quality artwork
through utilizing conventional/digital techniques, including the importance of color
usage, font selection, and the techniques of
supersizing and cropping for a dynamic page
layout. Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator will be used. Create a
magazine layout, logo design for product or
service, brochure and poster design, unique
folds, die-cuts, and paper engineering.
Callers will get information on any
weather-related closings at either the
Manhattan or Brooklyn campuses.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.

When it comes to branding, nothing communicates urban street culture more than
graffiti. Graffiti (or “writing” as the original
practitioners call it) has for decades plastered buildings and subway car walls and is
now on products and media channels that
permeate everyday life. Graffiti is essential
to the modern graphic designer’s palette
whether used alone as a complete tag for
a logo or as a typographical element that is
part of a broader design. Learn the aesthetics of “writing” while developing a signature
style of your own by tracing the history
and iconic styles of trail blazing NYC graffiti
artists. Develop an eye that decodes graffiti
design elements from places least expected.
Emphasis will be placed on modern design
applications. Explore graffiti’s footprint on
today’s guerrilla marketing techniques.

Architecture Exploratory Course:
The DNA of Thoughts and the Built
For the curious and creative, the hobbyist
and professional, this course allows you to
enter the study and practice of architecture
through the built environment, measuring
its effects and that which affects it. From
its smallest detail to its largest context,
architecture—which includes more than
buildings—will be scanned, analyzed, and developed. Processes and the architect’s tools
will be explored. The methods and techniques for analyzing and conceiving architecture will help you see differently. Through
the use of drawing and modeling, you will see
through making and make in order to see. A
series of lectures and readings will provide
a sampling of how an architect sees and,
specifically, sees architecture working within
and on the city. Through workshops, drawing
assignments, reviews, and a final modeling
project, each student will apply these methods of seeing to their own architecture. This
course is great for students wanting to build
a portfolio for admission into an architecture
degree program.

Pratt Manhattan offers varied approaches to
animation and motion-based media. Courses
are offered dealing with traditional animation
and design, and provide technical training in
digital animation.
Traditional Animation I
Animation is possibly the most versatile art
form. Anything that you can see can be made
to move through animation, whether it’s 3D
or flat, realistic or abstract. Focus on drawn
animation, starting with simple flipbooks
and work up to fuller character-style animation. Computer animation students will find
working in traditional animation and creating
each frame by hand will provide a more instinctive understanding of animation timing.
Learn timing and motion charts, key-framing
and in-betweening, straight-ahead animation, gestures and posing, anticipation and
reaction, overlapping motion, squash, and
stretch.

New Media
Fashion enthusiasts and professionals
will thrive in the Fashion New Media
Certificate Program, which combines
photography, graphic design, web
design, and social media marketing with
a communication design curriculum
focused on fashion brand creative. The
fashion industry has embraced new
media, and blogs and social media now
play a critical role in fashion marketing.
Top fashion bloggers sit front row among
the media’s elite at runway shows and
potential revenue for a fashion blog has
hit seven figures.
Examine the fashion new media landscape, develop a vision, and create deliverables for target audiences. Here are
some of the skills you will learn on the
way: Fashion Photography (shoot and retouch photographs using advanced lighting techniques and beauty retouching
techniques in Photoshop); Web Design
(build gorgeous blogs and websites that
scale across platforms, including mobile,
using quick tools, or build websites from
the ground up); Graphic Design (create
sizzling graphics for fashion brands and
marketing campaigns); and Online and
Social Media Marketing (drive traffic and
monetize your site).
With a course trajectory rooted in
portfolio development, you will finish
with a market-ready, professional design
portfolio that exemplifies your unique
voice. Having a well-honed portfolio
is critical for a new media designer. In
addition, you can grow your network
and gain real-world experience through
internships while completing your education. Never before has there been such
a comprehensive program to prepare
you for success in the new media world
of fashion!
Testimonial:
“The Fashion New Media course has been
tremendously eye-opening and inspiring
for me as a fashion designer who desires
to build my own label in the near future.”

Fashion New Media Design
Today’s digital landscape goes beyond
text and image. In an interactive, social,
multi-device, multi-platform world, potential
abounds; a blog may be ideal or an interactive element may inspire an audience to visit
your site again and again. Your message may
be best served by a social media campaign.
This course examines fashion brand creative
strategies in the digital landscape as well as
fashion new media through a communication
design lens. It starts with the basic framework behind brands—a promise, voice, and
values—and progresses to how brand stories
are brought to life across channels with a
focus on new media. A variety of visual inspiration will be presented in class, including
video and print work from prominent fashion
labels, lifestyle brands, and design firms.
The second half of the course deals with
conceiving and executing creative strategies.
Emphasis will be placed on the relationship between brand idea and campaign
execution. Learn how campaigns can be
reverse-engineered so that the creative
process behind them can be understood,
and how different kinds of media can be
used together to promote brands and their
products. Projects include developing an
extension for an existing brand, and a new
campaign for an existing or new brand.

All courses taught by Dale Paegelow at Pratt
CCPS are AIA-approved for continuing
education. No matter what state you live in,
you will earn credit as a licensed architect
or engineer by taking continuing education
courses. What if you also practice Home
Inspection under your license as an architect
or engineer in the State of New York or the
State of Connecticut? All of Dale Paegelow’s
courses have reciprocity with Connecticut
for licensed Home Inspectors, Architects,
and Engineers, and are approved by the
State of New York as well for licensed Home
Inspectors. For example, you can take Residential Electrical Systems and How to Evaluate Them Holistically at Pratt and receive
AIA credit in any state (say New York), PLUS
you can submit your transcript to Connecticut and the State of New York and earn
continuing education credits toward your
Home Inspection licensing requirements in
these states. You have attended one course
and received credit from two states. This is
also true for Home Inspection National Organizations such as ASHI or Inter-NACHI. Thus
completion of one of Dale Paegelow’s courses will earn LU/PDH credit in three places:
New York, Connecticut, and ASHI.

A Guide to the 2010 ADA Standards
and New York City-Specific
Accessibility Requirements
United Spinal Association’s course “A Guide
to the 2010 ADA Standards and New York
City Specific Accessibility Requirements”
will provide attendees with the comprehensive information they need to navigate the
world of accessibility when designing and
constructing commercial facilities in New
York City. When considering accessibility
requirements, many think exclusively of the
ADA, but doing so may leave designers and
building-owners falling short of obligations:
the 2008 NYC Construction Code enhancements sometimes exceed what is required by
the 2010 ADA Standards. To complicate
matters, the new 2010 ADA requirements
also include a host of regulations
(particularly for Recreation Facilities) that
are not mandatory according to the 2008
NYC Construction Code.
Learn the aspects of the NYC Construction
Code requiring a higher level of accessibility
in commercial occupancies (including retail,
offices, restaurants, employee work areas,
etc.) than those of the ADA. Study the areas
in which the new ADA requirements exceed
mandates of the NYC Construction Code.
Since design professionals and building
owners are obligated to comply with both
the ADA and the NYC Construction Code,
this course will ensure that you understand
which requirements are more stringent for
each, so that no accessibility requirements
are overlooked during the design phase.
Study federal accessibility requirements
and a review of applicable federal laws that
mandate accessibility (ADA, ABA, Sec855.551.7727 • www.pratt.edu/prostudies
tion 504, Fair Housing); local accessibility
requirements (2008 NYC Building Code/
ICC ANSI A117.1 -2003); technical review of
commercial kitchens and bathrooms, public
entrances, employee work areas, accessible
parking, etc.; and a class exercise of incorporating commercial kitchens/bathrooms
key design elements. Examine accessibility
requirements for existing buildings, including additions, and alterations to primary
function areas; and review areas where the
2010 ADA Standards exceed NYC Accessibility
Requirements (ADA regulations for specific
occupancies, Recreational Facilities, etc.).

Adaptive Reuse Reimagined
An existing structure presents many opportunities and many challenges. Architects
are sometimes reluctant to use the existing
infrastructure, hesitant to assume responsibility for unforeseen conditions, and may not
recognize the valuable resource they have.
It is vitally important to understand what is
possible given new technologies. Part of the
challenge is to discover hidden features of a
property to both preserve and improve the
facility by applying creativity and taking the
care necessary to envision the end product.
This course examines the conceptual underpinnings, as well as the methods, materials,
and process of reconstructing and adding to
an older building.
Examine survey existing conditions; code
and zoning; planning for preservation (old vs.
new); building charm and interest, the permitting process; the construction process,
and case studies.

Contractors, planners, engineers, architects,
landscape architects, construction managers, and green infrastructure enthusiasts
who seek New York City-specific information
regarding the natural and infrastructural
systems influencing the design, construction, and maintenance of urban green
infrastructure should take this course in
Pratt’s Urban Green Infrastructure Fundamentals series. This seminar refers to “green
infrastructure” as the use of green roofs,
walls, parks, expanded roadside plantings,
porous pavements, and other innovative
technologies that allow for rainwater to seep
into soils and be taken up by plants rather
than being funneled off to overwhelm our
sewer systems and trigger combined sewer
overflows (CSOs).
New York City struggles with nearly 30 billion
gallons per year of CSO events. Greeninfrastructure treats rainwater as a resource
rather than a waste. It offers a cost-effective
solution to mitigating the city’s sewer overflow
problems. Gain an understanding of NYC’s
unique water management infrastructure
and natural systems that influence green
infrastructure implementation.

Greyfield Development — Opening
the Doors to New Opportunities
The American landscape is scarred with
remnants of postwar suburbanization, when
waves of development surged from historic
city centers to pristine suburbs. Developments began with a Main Street; then the
postwar decades introduced prototypes
such as the mall, neighborhood center, strip
centers, and finally the “big-box” one-stop
shop. These developments continued to
evolve to incorporate all the latest retailers,
entertainment venues, restaurants, and
community activities; resulting in a series of
economically obsolete, failing, and/or underutilized buildings or land. These sites are
commonly referred to as “greyfields.” This
course will explore what to do with these

Off-Site Fabrication for Housing
No one is certain when humans began to
prefabricate buildings. Certainly nomadic
herdsmen engaged in a form of
prefabrication for thousands of years, since
tents were made and repeatedly assembled
at different locations. Prefab began entering
the consciousness of the architect and
engineer parallel with the dawn of the
Industrial Revolution. Prefab reached an
early highpoint in Sir Joseph Paxton’s design
for the Crystal Palace in London’s Hyde Park.
While buildings mostly remain site-built
adventures, other industries such as airplane
and auto-manufacturing have leapt forward
with modern procurement, contractual and
fabrication methods, and dry and predictable indoor conditions.
There is a bright future for prefab in the
construction industry due to the recent
concern for a green and sustainable environment. Examine the various aspects of
off-site fabrication with respect to how
architects and developers can get involved.
Ask yourself how do we physically make
buildings now, and how much are we in
control of how buildings are actually made?
Is it possible to develop a rational way of
making buildings when the juggernaut of the
construction industry is so accustomed to

are directly connected. Impermeable
surfaces account for roughly 70 percent
of New York City’s acreage; as such the
runoff from these surfaces represents
serious water quality and infrastructural
challenges for the city. As the impacts of
climate change bring more severe wet
weather events to our shores, the need
for innovative storm water management
is paramount.
New York City’s move toward the implementation of green infrastructure to
meet our national water quality standards represents both a tremendous
teaching moment and an opportunity
for workforce development. Training in
standard designs, regulations, permitting,
construction, monitoring, and maintenance of innovative tree pits, bioswales,
green roofs, and green walls will be
critical for successful implementation of
green infrastructure citywide.
The certificate curriculum was formed
in collaboration with the Pratt Graduate School of Architecture, several city
agencies, members of the American
Society of Landscape Architects New
York Chapter, and private sector green
infrastructure practitioners.
The term green infrastructure represents
the ability of vegetation and other natural
systems to capture and evapotranspire
rainwater, treating rain as a resource
rather than a waste.

CAREER TRACK
Specialize Your Green Infrastructure Study
Our certificate offers landscape, architecture, engineering, construction, and facilities
maintenance professionals as well as green
infrastructure enthusiasts the opportunity
to focus on green roofs, public right-of-way,
or innovative green infrastructure projects.
Study a specialized area of green infrastructure by adding design and construction,
maintenance, and monitoring courses to
your required courses.
Contractors, planners, engineers, architects,
landscape architects, construction managers, and green infrastructure enthusiasts
who seek New York City-specific information
regarding the natural and infrastructural
systems influencing the design, construction, and maintenance of urban green
infrastructure should take this course in
Pratt’s Urban Green Infrastructure Fundamentals series. This seminar refers to “green
infrastructure” as the use of green roofs,
walls, parks, expanded roadside plantings,
porous pavements, and other innovative
technologies that allow for rainwater to seep
into soil and be taken up by plants rather
than being funneled off to overwhelm our
sewer systems and trigger combined sewer
overflows (CSOs).
New York City struggles with nearly 30
billion gallons per year of CSO events. Green
infrastructure treats rainwater as a resource
rather than a waste. It offers a cost-effective solution to mitigating the city’s sewer
overflow problems. Gain an understanding of
NYC’s unique water management infrastructure and natural systems that influence
green infrastructure implementation.
Examine NYC’s watershed and sewer-shed
fragmentation and connectivity; hydrology
of NYC, including discussions of hydrographs,
groundwater, water flow, percolation, and
runoff; geology of NYC; types of soils, soil
conditions, function and specification;
organizational chart of key players in green
infrastructure implementation; NYC’s natural
geography and its built environment boundaries that influence prioritization of green
infrastructure; and site assessment.

Home Inspection Courses and
Reciprocity
No matter what state you live in, you will
earn credit as a licensed architect or
engineer by taking continuing education courses. What if you also practice
home inspections under your license
as an architect or engineer in the State
of New York or the State of Connecticut or State of New York? All of Dale
Paegelow’s courses have reciprocity with
Connecticut for licensed home inspectors, architects, and engineers, and are
approved by the State of New York, as
well as, for licensed home inspectors. For
example, you can take Residential Electrical Systems and How to Evaluate Them
Holistically at Pratt and receive AIA credit
in any state (say New York), plus you can
submit your transcript to Connecticut
and the State of New York and earn continuing-education
credits toward your Home Inspection
licensing requirements in these states.
You will have attended one course and
received credit from two states. This is
also true for Home Inspection National
Organizations such as ASHI or Inter-NACHI. Thus completion of one of Dale
Paegelow’s courses will earn LU/PDH
credit in three places: New York, Connecticut, and ASHI.
Dale Paegelow is an alumnus of Pratt
Institute.
Architects and engineers will look at
areas specified by each course as they
pertain to residential housing in one
(1) to four (4) family units. Each course
will focus in on one or two of 12 legally
required inspection components for a
home inspection that protects the
safety of a home and can bring it into
code compliance, including what are
common construction and renovation
errors or omissions.
Please Note: The tuition for the first
nine courses listed at right includes one
required textbook.

“Pratt’s Sustainable Building, Infrastructure Design and Management
program offers a helpful introduction to Sustainability and LEED® certification. Tony Gelber is an excellent
speaker and he brings his passion for
sustainability and conservation to all
his classes.”
–Robert Fonfrias, P.E.
“I really enjoyed Roy Pachecano’s
and David Reck’s class on Green Design vs. Historic Preservation. It was
very informative and inspiring. With
the economy the way that it is, I am
trying to find ways to reinvent myself
as an architect. Your class gave me
much to consider. My business partner and I are in contract to purchase
a landmark house on Staten Island.
The case study of the Nix House gave
me a renewed appreciation of the
restoration process. I look forward
to attending more of your seminars
in the future.”
–Michael A. Biagioli, AIA, Architect
“I have taken many courses over the
years at Pratt and other institutions
to meet my PE license continuing
education needs. I am pleased to
tell you that the course ‘Greyfield
Development—Unlocking the Doors
to New Opportunities,’ taught
by David Robbins A.I.C.P., R.L.A.,
LEED®, was the best I have attended.
The subject matter was interesting,
but David’s approach to covering
the topic and the opportunity for
the interactive discussion made the
experience more educational and
enjoyable. Thanks again.”
–Bruce Levy, P.E.
Autodesk® Training Center
“Your institution should be proud
to have Mr. Chris Ramirez as part of
your group of instructors/professors. I was very impressed with Mr.
Ramirez’s pedagogical skills when
I participated in ‘AutoCAD Level I.’
The skills I refer to are his: clear
way to express ideas, organized
sequence of lessons, structured
and logical daily agenda, concern
for students’ difficulties; and he was
always available when needed. I will
certainly recommend this course to
my colleagues and personally look
forward to my next course in your
department. As a former adjunct
professor at college-level institutions in New York and New Jersey,
and as a licensed educator in both
places, I appreciate taking courses in
which the instructor, besides having
the expertise in the subject, is also a
good pedagogue.”
“The nature of our business is very
deadline-driven. In order to get our
designers proficient and up to speed
on Autodesk VIZ, we feel it is best to
routinely provide them with off-site
training. That way, they can fully
concentrate on learning about the
design tools without any daily distractions. For ATC, Pratt Institute has
been a valuable resource in training
our product teams, and keeping
our workflow proceeding smoothly
and efficiently.”
–Donald Strum, Senior Director of Product
Design, Michael Graves Design Group,
Princeton, NJ and New York, NY
“Eric Kachelhofer was an excellent
instructor. He was knowledgeable,
engaging, gave personalized instruction, and enabled me to resolve specific issues unique to my field (crime
scene reconstruction). It was a great
experience and I would like to continue taking classes in the future.”
“Three-dimensional craniofacial
imaging is the future for orthodontic
diagnosis and treatment planning.
Temple University has developed this
technique with the hope that it will
become commonplace in the future
office. Several types of software
programs must be utilized for
development. Temple University
has teamed with Pratt’s Autodesk
Authorized Training Center Premier
Media and Entertainment (formerly
known as a discreet Training Center)
to enhance the knowledge and usage
of the software. Pratt has provided
a certified instructor to teach within
a private and custom teaching
environment. Continuing support
has been an outstanding attribute
from Pratt. I believe the success of
this project will be ensured due to
the strong commitment Pratt has
given us.”

TESTIMONIALS
Fine Arts
“In brief, I feel so grateful and
indebted to Ms. Rosenblatt for the
masterly way she brought drawing
into my life. I have, in the past, been
too impatient to tackle the elegantly
simple process of drawing (‘simple’
as in ‘uncluttered,’ not ‘easy’).
“Ms. Rosenblatt has skillfully guided
me through one obstacle after
another. The result is I’ve tapped
into the JOY of the process, regarding the frustrations, dissatisfactions,
etc. as valuable components in the
creative process rather than as
markers of defeat. This is a very precious gift, which I greatly value.”
–Annica Davis
“The quiet, soft-spoken instructor
Newton Meyers taught me more
about drawing and painting than I
had learned at the two colleges I
attended.”
–Michelle Delecki
Computer Graphics
“I think the seminar—‘Overview of
Digital Creation and Digital Media,’
taught by Kathy Brew—was probably
one of the best and most informative classes I’ve taken, in terms
of exposure and resources. I’m so
happy I got to take it! I am sad it was
only one day though.“
“The After Effects I class I just took
with Irina (Ira) Yakubov was absolutely fantastic. She is a great instructor
who is very well organized and clear
in her lesson plans. I am very surprised at how much I learned, and I
am definitely at a level where I can
apply those skills to jobs. I would be
thrilled to be able to take an advanced After Effects class with her
in the fall.”
–Josh Graver, Pratt Institute,
Graphic Designer
Photography and Digital Creation
“Coming from an island in the Caribbean, I’ve always been into building
bridges that can take me somewhere
else. Pratt Manhattan’s Photography
and Digital Imaging program has
been the provider of the iron, bolts,
and wires for this enterprise: my
own photography work and business.
I’m very happy and thankful for all I
learned and developed while I was
there. I recommend this program to
anyone who is looking to learn and
create, to expand and take a chance
on passion for art.”
–Mónica Félix, Professional Photographer,
Photography and Digital Imaging, Certified
Program Alumna
–Danielle King, Curatorial Director
Design
“Since taking Elaine Tannenbaum’s
class, ‘Introduction to Graphic
Design,’ I have dived into the design
world and am actually in the process of applying to design M.F.A.
programs. I am hoping to combine
my background in anthropology
and writing to do design for social change. I also started a series
of drawings after the class ended
called Simplifood—minimalist vector
drawings of food from an aerial view.
They have become a true outlet for
me, and have started to gain some
traction (www.cargocollective.com/
simplifood)! Thank you for inspiring
me to pursue this path and helping
me learn the basic skills I needed to
make all this possible.”

to make payment for the student’s tuition
charges. Students must fill out and adhere to

third party, students will be held liable for all
charges on their account.

or any personal data with external resources.

students registered in semester-long courses and students in 1–6 day computer and
appraisal courses, workshops, or lectures. In

Special Needs
Students with special needs must contact
the office upon registration to make any
necessary arrangements.
Refunds
Students who, for any reason, find it impossible to complete the course for which they
are registered should inform the Center for
Continuing and Professional Studies (CCPS),
in writing, that they wish to withdraw. Failure
to complete the course does not constitute
official withdrawal, nor does notification to
the instructor. Lack of attendance alone
does not entitle a student to a refund. Pratt
cannot be responsible for providing makeups or issuing refunds for programs missed
as a result of illness, emergencies or other
events beyond our control. Withdrawals
do not necessarily entitle the student to a
refund of tuition and fees paid or the cancellation of tuition still due.
See withdrawal policy.
Please note: Allow 60 days for refunds to be
processed.
