Here are the alternate designs that I tried wrapping my head around, but then I remembered what my mentor Seth Godin said about business card designs.  They suck, but never worry (these suck so the school won’t have my work for their portfolio) - 

10:00am: Instructor left and said we were all free to leave due to the poor weather.  I stayed.
