1. The act of publishing or making known, notification to the people at large, either by words, writing or printing; proclamation; divulgation; promulgation... more big words...

Design, as defined by the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (applicable entry):
3. To create or produce, as a work of art; to form a plan or scheme of; to form an idea; to invent; to project; to lay out in the mind; as, a man designs an essay, a poem, a statue, or a cathedral.
Thereby combining those two, "Publication Design" is the creation of a publication in one of it's many forms.
I have chosen to share a portfolio website, that of illustrator Si Scott:
The site is simple, wide open, easy to navigate, straight to the point, and nicely laid out. The flash menus add interest without being confusing or too fancy. The typography is classy.
However, the best part about it is that it's so simple that the work - which is the point of the website - is really displayed without being taken away from by any other flashy graphics. That is perhaps the number one merit of a text based portfolio site.
Check out this video of Si:
