NATA iLead Conference

So this past weekend, I attended the National Athletic Trainers' Association's "iLead" conference for athletic training students. At said meeting, business cards were flying like no other. Being only a sophomore, I've felt that having business cards would be fairly presumptuous, especially considering that I've only been in my ATEP officially for less than a year. But boy, was I wrong!

Either way, as soon as I got home I started playing around on Adobe Photoshop, and remembering my long lost love for graphic design. Sometimes I still wonder if I should have chosen that as my major instead. But then I remember how much that I absolutely love learning about athletic training and being able to spend time in the ATR. I'm not sure that anyone loves their major quite as much as I do.

But here's the deal with business(/calling) cards: where do you draw the line between being creative and leaving an impression, and maintaining a professional image? A lot of the business cards that I've found online are very neat (and mostly for graphic designers) and would certainly leave a lasting image while sticking out from the crowd. But, what is okay for non-graphic designers? I want people to remember me, but in a positive, professional light.

Here's one of my drafts, the others aren't wanting to load at the moment:
(If you have any advice or comments concerning design, please let me know!!!)

Also, if anyone has examples of their business cards that they'd like to share, please do! I'd love to see more.
