To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to resubmit my portfolio. I understand the gravity of such an invaluable experience and also being the first class of USC students to study abroad at the London College of Communication.
This pdf. includes three typographical assignments and a glimpse at my concep-tual reasoning. I hope that this supplemental portfolio will enforce my potential to succeed within the LCC curriculum.
My original portfolio, focused in applied and freelance design projects, can be viewed at: www.behance.net/alexiscotton
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best,Alexis Cotton

I don’t wanna be the many who let fear queer the journey to committing to something far greater than themselves. Love is an energy that heals you, every morning wakes you with a smile or a simple touch of certainty that today certainly be a good day and I’m so excited because it’ll be a day spent our way. One you find that to be the manythat let it slip would be such a woe that you would never ever let grow or commit I don’t even wanna be the few who found a simplicity, a natural side of collaboration that leads to understanding that

NIGMA- “Self-Segregation”
Course: Independent Study: The nature of independent study classes is stu-dent-motivated, with students taking the initiative. The students are to initiate their own projects, determine what research needs to be done, and carry out the projects independently.
Assignment: NIGMA is an alias created for a semester long independent art study. The mission of NIGMA is to create collective protest art aimed to educate and spark student conversation on college campuses. This specific project pre-sented statistics about self-segregation on campuses through 11”x17” stickers posted in various bathrooms at my university.

“Greek life may be especially detrimental to
campus racial climate when institutions lack
structural diversity, likely because Greek life
appears to play a more balkanizing role
on such campuses”

“White students are most
likely to have homogenous
friendship groups.”
“Those who are white,
viewed groups of students
of color as homogenous or
self-segregating, while minority
participants themselves viewed
the pan-minority as diverse and
a means toward coalition
building across racial lines.”
(Warikoo & Deckman, 2014).
