    To me, a physical portfolio is very important no matter what type of work you create. The purpose primarily being showing how you present things in person but also to show how you translate the presentation of your work from the web to print. You should explain each piece and illustrate your ability to sell concepts. Sketches would be a nice addition as well so you can show how you think on paper and edit your ideas. There's something nice about the tactile qualities of a printed piece that position your work in a more artistic way. A site certainly is better for immediacy and the purposes of dissemination, but lacks the warmth and humanity of a real person with a real book.
