“THE LISA ROBERTSON SHOW” brandon washington professional work: QVC

Proposed Design

The design we proposed was a closet inspired set that

featured a movable store-like window where Lisa can

kick-off the show.

The set also included replacing some of the back-walls with closet like displays that can be rolled in and out if needed. The normal square platform was turned into a large cirlce

giving Lisa and the models more room to stand.

replacing the platform area.The platform was replaced with a large circle platform and the back wall was replaced with a much cleaner and modern wall.

The wall featured a monitor and cubbies cranded with LRS, giving the set more opportunities for branding and product

display.

TheAmerican Dream

“THE AMERICAN DREAM” brandon washington personal work

“Anyone who can’t sell a bag of air with a dream

inside doesn’t deserve to call himself an American much less an art dealer.”

- Dave Hickey

On the anniversary of acclaimed designer/artist TobiasWong’s death, in celebration of his life I reinterpreted

his project Dreams.

.38

PapairShoe

.41

“PAPAIR” brandon washington academic work

Designers: Brandon Washington, Yurri Mial, Robert BowmanType: Academic workYear: 2009* Selected for Design Philadelphia

A D.I.Y. shoe concept that is sustainable and eco-friendly

Papair uses an assembly process similar to the process used to assemble moccassins. Papair is constructed with-

out having to sew the shoe together. Papair has a sole that has more support than the usual flat sole of D.I.Y. shoes.

.42

“PAPAIR” brandon washington academic work

Assembling Papair’s Upper

Papair’s holes are pre-cut, and comes with two laces to assemble each shoe.Two laces are used to assemble the shoe and to attach the upper part to the sole. The laces have harden tips that makes it easier to feed them through the various, thoroughly aligned, holes throughout the shoe. No need for sewing needles.

.43Assembling Papair’s Upper

A toggle is used to secure the laces to the back of the shoe.

The toggle allows the user to adjust the fit of the back of the shoe to the foot. Since the laces are attached to the sole, tightening the toggle will make the back of the upper piece more secured to the sole.

.44

“PAPAIR” brandon washington academic work

Papair’s Sole

Papair has a rubber, sneaker like sole that is thick and has an arch support.

Papair’s sole is made out of repurposed rubber. Ther is a series of holes that the laces can feed through to attach the upper piece to the sole. The holes are

inserted into a channel in the sole to protect the laces.

PublicLighter Project

.53Designers: Brandon WashingtonType: Personal WorkYear: 2012

“LIGHTER PROJECT” brandon washington personal work

A project that repurposes vacant phone booths.

Being a cigarette smoker I often, like a lot of smokers, use these booths as shields during harsh winds and

rain. Seeing a lot of vacant phone booths in Philly, I felt that installing a lighter in these vacant booths was

appropriate. Eight around the city was installed near bars, nightclubs, and art galleries.

.54

“LIGHTER PROJECT” brandon washington personal work

First Attempt

The first attempt at the project was a learning experience.

The first lighter installation I ran into a few problems. The booth needed some type of signage and the first attempt was to spray paint the logo on the booth, which didn’t take to the metal. The lighter placement inside the booth was a little awkward also.

.55Project Features

The lighter is attached to the top of the inside of the phone booth.

A more prominent sign was created and attached to the top of the booth.
