These days, before you can even get in the door for a interview, you have to show samples and have a website of your work. But once you get that interview, whats the best way to present your work, the traditional leather bound portfolio or bring a laptop with maybe a keynote presentation or what???

why would you be showing prints for an interactive position?

Normally they look up your site on a computer.

start a thread here and post your screenshots... if interview is going downhill proceed to gif animation thread

Actually a funny gag might be to print out screens of your interactive work onto those plastic laminate sheets that cling to glass. Then toss one on their screen and say "see - this is what my site would look like on your computer."

You'll be able to stand, look the person in the eyes, and present your work and never have to put the mouse down on a solid surface. Its a mouse and pointer device.
*no point in leather folio for interactive

pick out a single project and show them what happened at every stage - take them on a journey...
1 initial client brief > 2 obligatory shot of whiteboard from brainstorm > 3 competitive product analysis > 4 wireframes > 5 visual design through to signoff > results...

Your work should blow them away. You shouldn't have to hand-hold them through the process at that level of position.

if you get called in, they have better taken a look at your work beforehand. i had an ECD on the interactive side interview me once, first thing she asked was: "sooooooo..... did you bring anything to show me?" -- uhh what? everything is online...
i find that over the phone for an initial interview is the best,... saves your time...

I always walk into an interview with a portfolio site made specifically for that presentation. Offline of course because you shouldn't count on an internet connection. + a business card/resume/"leave behind" that has a link back to your email/online portfolio/phone #
