Description

I wanted to apply for a web copywriting job, which required skills in both writing and web development. But rather than send a lame CV, I thought it would be more fun to make a site just for the purpose of applying... So I made a parody site that doubles as a portfolio. The goal was to make fun of the 2016 US presidential election, of which there is no shortage of material. It's also essentially the same pitch: "Pick me, pick me!" Regardless of whether it lands me the job (fingers crossed!), it was fun to do... PS. At the time, in early 2016, I had no idea the what the results of the election would be that November. So while at the time I was making fun of one of the unserious candidates, thinking the approach darkly comic, it became in the end a nightmarish reminder.
