COMD Agency

The COMD Agency aims at helping Pratt students transition from an educational experience to the professional world by providing the opportunity to become more involved within the active advertising commmunity, as well as creating a student identity for those interested in obtaining the most out of their college years.

Organized events will include guest speakers, portflio reviews, and other social gatherings allowing the advertising majors to develop a better sense of community and extended networking. We are also working on obtaining ADC (Art Directors Club) memberships for the participants, which will be discussed at the weekly group meetings:
Tuesdays at 12:45 Steuben 403.

Though advertising majors are strongly encouraged to participate, the agency is open to graphic design and illustration majors as well. If you have any questions concerning the COMD Agency, please feel free to ask.

The Americans 50th Anniversary

Swiss photographer Robert Frank had several photographs included in MoMA's 1955 "Family of Man" exhibition. Shortly after that, he turned away from all that optimism and looked more objectively at what he observed here in the states. This show at the Met celebrates the 50th anniversary of the publishing of "The Americans".

Your Flight, Swiss Made

Client: Swiss
Agency: Publicis Zürich, Switzerland
If you have a few minutes to spare, do check out this amazing spot for Swiss, which further demonstrates how brilliant cinematography can provoke an emotional reaction in the viewer.
This was clearly the intended purpose for a well-known company like Swiss, whose goal was perhaps to simply 'wow' the viewer, in order that he/she then associates that emotion with the service provided.
