I take a screengrab, then retouch it in Photoshop (just levels and colour correction).
After that I get it printed as a flyer, give a few out on the street, after a couple of weeks I look for any flyers that ppl might have left on the street and if I find one I scan it.
It looks amazing, I don't know... there's something special about it.
Clients love it.

I just show a thumbnail with the interesting part of the page in it, linking to either the live site or screenshots of it.
I've seen this used with fake interaction where the buttons on the screenshot are actual buttons that replace the image with the correct screenshot for the page.
I'd prefer to link to a live site though so if any potential employers want to have a look at the code they can.
- The last point is for anything that may not translate well in a screenshot, such as PHP stuff or jQuery.orrinward

For my current portfolio, I shoot the screen with a camera. It can add more visual interest by shooting at a slight angle, and I like the moire pattern created over the top of the piece.
Not for everyone though. I'm planning to add straight screen shots so you can see the entire piece at once.
- not for everyone? why should you be the only one taking advantage of this technique?SoulFly
- haha - i'm sure i'm not. I meant that not everyone may care for that technique, or feel it fits well with the look of their port.bulletfactory
