A New Library Card for the Library

So being one of the few graphic designers at the library, I have been asked to design a new library card to be entered into a competition we will be holding in a month or so.

This assignment simultaneously strikes fear and excitement into my heart.

1. I am by no means a professional artist. I just taught myself Photoshop and Illustrator.
2. People will be judging my artistic work. I hope people don't hate it.

But on the plus side:

1. It will be so much fun to create something like this.
2. If my library card design is chosen, that would be awesome.

 So I already have a couple of ideas in mind, but in the meantime, check out this awesome card found by AMM.
