I like to make stuff.
My name is Bryan Knauber, and I'm a freelance graphic and interaction designer working in the greater Minneapolis area. (Greater meaning my home town of Frederic, Wisconsin, too.)

This site is a showcase of some of my recent web, print, and photo work. I especially enjoy the web part — and am fluent in web languages like XHTML, CSS, and PHP — but dabble in many other things, too.

My work has been featured on Unmatched Style, CSSBeauty, as one of the "Best of CSS Design[s of] 2007" at Web Designer Wall, and many other gallery sites.

If you'd like to work together in the future, drop me an email or a phone call. I'd love to talk with you.

↓ Read along or just look at all the pretty pictures.

Burnett Dairy Billboards — I designed two billboards for Burnett Dairy Cooperative to advertise their retail cheese store and website (which I also designed, see below). 4/08

It was a new experience for me working in such a large format (12' × 24'). An attractive and simple design is necessary to keep things readable at a glance. 4/08

Antioch Community Church Identity — As part of an ongoing project with Antioch Community, a new church plant in NE Minneapolis, I created a logo and identity that reflects a melding of old and new. 4/08

Kirsten Anne Photography — Brand new site for Cumberland, Wisconsin photographer Kirsten Wagner that includes a portfolio and online proofs. 1/08

Whispering Pines Camp — Large site for a year-round camp in Frederic, Wisconsin. Includes many sections with random photography throughout. 12/07

Burnett Dairy Cooperative — Burnett Dairy Cooperative's recently launched site features a completely new design, reworked content, and a full-featured online store. The design of this site has been featured and mentioned in many different web design galleries (including Unmatched Style, CSS Drive, and CSS Mania) a popular web development blog (ThinkVitamin.com) and other sites like Flickr. Developed in partnership with CrexTechs. 12/07-Current

Home Field Advantage 2008 Identity — Logo for a project this summer that will be used on marketing materials, online, and on tee-shirts. 3/08

Trout Haven Retreat — Redesigned site for Trout Haven Retreat (formerly Trout Haven Homes) focuses on organizing content for those who might be interested. 12/07

Cardinal Accounting letterhead and business cards

Cardinal Accounting Identity System — Given a logo, I worked with Cardinal Accounting to develop a complete identity system including letterhead, business cards, envelopes, and notepads. 12/07

A Charcoal Drawing — Ok, so to be honest I'm not really that proud of this. (The spheres are all lumpy and look like their made out of play-dough.) But the way I see it, what designer's portfolio is complete without one of those pictures with someone holding up a poster in the upper corners, right? I'm afraid this is all I've got. 4/08

Trade River Winery — I worked with CrexTechs to give Trade River Winery a completely new design and an online store. The events, guestbook, and general content pages of this site are built on the Symphony content management system, allowing them to edit any content throughout the site. Also, since its launch it has grown to be high in search engine rankings even for obscure and partial phrases. 03/07-Current

Although I don't do it for pay very often, I do enjoy photography and dabble in it in my free time. This is a shot from this past December that I particularly like. 12/07

Butterknife House Project DVD Design — The Butterknife Project was a faith-based project that rebuilt the home of one family after Hurricane Katrina. I developed the logo, website, and marketing materials for the project. This is the DVD that was produced at the end of the project for which I designed the covers and disc. 12/06
