I am a big fan of fashion and graphic design, so I joined a club called Brand You and I\u2019ve had the best experience so far.<\/p>\n<p>One project I really enjoyed was a paparazzi styled photoshoot, where models had to pretend to shy away from the camera as if they were some sort of celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>This project was inspired by Balenciaga\u2019s latest Instagram posts which featured models also shying away from the paparazzi, but in Balenciaga\u2019s latest winter collection. I really enjoyed this project because I was able to work with new people while doing something that I love.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-262 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/counselors\/files\/2018\/03\/brandyou1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/counselors\/files\/2018\/03\/brandyou1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/counselors\/files\/2018\/03\/brandyou1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/counselors\/files\/2018\/03\/brandyou1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Iowa is proud to welcome students from all over the world.
