¶ Welcome to the personal/professional (to separate the two would be impossible) website of Richard Michael Roth Jr: a professional/visionary, graphic designer, web designer/developer, photographer, fine artists, and abstract thinker practicing and residing in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area.

¶ As a creator and/or sculptor of the visual language(s) that represent the face and dialog of my clients’ companies, I consider myself to also be what I feel all graphic designers should consider themselves (whether they step up to the role and assume responsibility for this or not): a business consultant. While I may not be the one to help streamline your overhead or advise you on investment strategies, I do understand exactly how your businesses’ face and voice effects its demographic – even when you don’t. I will also give solid reasons to defend every decision that gets made and I have been known to argue better practices with a client for their own sake and, hopefully, understanding.

¶ My niche is creation. Taking an idea/chaotic thought and translating it into something that captivates an audience, depicts beauty, causes a conversation, and has a lasting appeal is what I believe I am placed on this plane of existence for.

¶ I have an extensive amount of experience in the photographic, design, and fine-art realm(s). I am extremely passionate about my work and am always striving to expand, define, and deliver a better result with every project I assume.

¶ I have had work displayed in numerous galleries and have developed a plethora of Brands/Identifies, campaigns, CD-ROM mediums, UI's, websites, emails, direct mailings, print collateral, screen savers, desk-top applications, commercial photography, portraiture photography, event photography, and video graphic packages for a multitude of respected business professionals.
