Brian Knobloch
More than just a Designer...
Exceptional work deserves exceptional presentation. My work showcases my more than 20 years of experience in the design and marketing industry.
I have created and developed for a multitude of local, regional and national companies. Until September 2012, when I founded blockplanedesigns, I was steadily employed in the St. Louis Metro-East area with several small to medium size marketing companies, creating and managing a wide range of clients and projects from initial concept to delivery. My experience transcends any particular business category, spanning a gamut of industries, strengthening my belief that a creative expert must be able to understand and design for an entity of any size, in any industry. In recent years, I have been refining and expanding my web development mastery, creating web solutions ranging from simple one page informational offerings up to complex e-commerce, CMS and database driven sites. In addition to my efforts on the job, I am committed to serving my community and engaging in civic causes.
It is my desire to provide premier caliber creative solutions on projects while strongly emphasizing customer service/delivery. It is my firm belief that in establishing and maintaining open and regular channels of communication with our clients, I can provide amazing results on time and on target with project goals.
On any project, my goal is to understand where a business/organization currently stands (Point A) in regards to the project (what do they have now, what are their concerns, why are they looking to change. what are competitors doing, etc…) and then find out where they want to be, (Point B) – (what are their goals for the project – more revenue, more hits on the site, increased brand recognition – locally, regionally?, etc…) My job is to understand a customer’s unique problems/goals and then to create and execute a plan to get them from Point A to Point B, which includes a great looking, user-friendly creative that meets project goals and expectations! Every project has a story to tell…I want to discover what it is and share it with the world!
And yeah, in case you were wondering, I tied that bowtie myself!

Web Development
In this day and age, every business, organization and cause needs an online presence. Why not make it look great and work smoothly as well?
Branding
There is nothing more important than establishing a strong brand identity and consistently presenting it to your audience through all your marketing materials.
Print Collateral
Even with the emergence of web tech and online advertising, print design and collateral still play an important role in the advertising presence.
Video/Audio/Motion
The fastest growing area of advertising and marketing, especially online, is with video and motion graphics.
Advertising
In an unending sea of visual stimuli, effectively and efficiently persuading customers and donors to notice you is of utmost importance.
Signage/Display
While not thought of as often, signage, vehicle graphics and other display products offer a big visual BANG for companies.
Posters
Working with several community theater groups offers me the opportunity to design and produce A LOT of show posters!
Fine Art
After working and creating on a computer all day, it's always fun to get back to my roots and create with some traditional and non-traditional art mediums.
