Christine, I completely agree with your concerns. To me, it is like emailing your design work to a client. I always want to be there to gauge reaction and tell the story. Presentation of both work, and portfolio (because it is really very similar) are about setting the stage with criteria and the problem definition, and then explaining the solution and results. I always want that to be a conversation, and not subject to my writing skill or the viewers interpretation.
This is NOT a fashion show or a beauty pageant.
