This week at DME I mainly created Bat/ Bar Mitzvah themed invitations. Last week I had to do a lot of research on the Jewish community along with figuring out the most popular party themes. I gathered my research and sent it in for approval. Once Anna my mentor approved I was able to start creating designs and themes. I tried to go off my research of what the most popular party themes are. I made one that was poker related for the guys. I stuck with the poker theme and came up with my own design and turned it into a party invitation. The most challenging part was incorporating the Jewish symbols along with keeping the hole party theme. I got the hang of if and before I knew it designing became simple. I also created two other girl invitations with keeping a tropical theme. I created one with the hand of god and one with an owl since owls and elephants are trending in girls fashion. As seen below I have created small samples of Party themes for Bat/bar Mitzvahs!!
I think the owl option is the most successful. It feels cohesive. Some of the others have clip art that doesn’t seem to fit together. What kind of feedback did your mentor give you?
Also have you run these designs by some one more familiar with Jewish culture? You need to make sure you are being respectful of these religious symbols.
Well in the beginning I had to do research just to know the culture a little more. My friend is Jewish and I have been too many bat/bar Mitzvahs growing up. My mentor Anna still needs to go over them with me. The point of the invitations was to contribute a party theme… ( the most popular one) for example sports, red carpet, candy.. themes that young children usually incorporate into their after party.
