Websites is a selection of recent works designed and made by Studio Harris Blondman, the graphic design studio of Harry Bloch and Joris Landman. The Swiss-Dutch Amsterdam-based studio works at the cutting edge of graphic tradition and digital experimentation, combining classic editorial and design knowledge with new media expertise and creative coding.
Studio Harris Blondman is specialised in creating websites, exploring the singularities and playfulness offered by this online medium. With each project, they investigate how visuals, structure, layout, behaviour, and identity can be given shape in the browser. The designers start from the ground up and follow ideas to their conclusion, taking into consideration standards and conventions and questioning or breaking them when they see the need. With their praxis – which includes teaching, writing, initiating events, and committee work – they hold space for experimentation and inclusivity, and hope to make a positive contribution to a more diverse media landscape.
