Buffy Title Card Roughs 15

So for the Passions, I only did the one design because what Giles finds waiting for him is powerful in context but doesn’t give way what happens in the episode.

Killed by Death is was a little hard. I thought maybe the book with the monsters face on it stained with blood. The next one is the demon’s claws coming around the doorway corner. Both aren’t quite as good as I’d like.

Some more Buffy title cards. So Phases I didn’t want to be too on the nose with the werewolf stuff. So I did the light on Oz’s chains for the first idea. The second idea for phases thought the gum aiming scope would be a good idea. Since Cain is a driving force in the episode that would make the idea stand out.

For Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered I thought Xander’s chest while he’s wearing the locket he gave Cordelia is a good idea. Since the whole episode is about women under the love spell being obsessed with Xander, I thought sexualizing him would be fixing. And then the other is since they use candles in the spell, so the flame making a heart would work well.

So Surprise and Innocences are big Buffy moments. I thought for Surprise the scene of Buffy’s birthday party with the Judge’s arm coming out of the box. But I think I like the Angel in the rain better.

Then for Innocence I though mI thought maybe Buffy holding a rose that’s thrones are hurting her neck would be some interesting symbolism. Also Buffy sitting quietly alone in Angel’s bed.

More Buffy title cards.

Ted is kinda hard without spoiling the reveal. I thought the giant text over the cookies might work, making Ted kinda an over whelming intrusion in Buffy’s life. Then I thought the implied dead body for the the design would be good. It’s big moment in the episode and it can be focused on without spoiling that Ted is a robot.

Bad Eggs I could only think of the one design which is fairly on the nose.

Some more Buffy title cards. Both of these are the different parts of What’s My Line. Part 1 I thought it would be cool to use Drusilla’s tarot cards placed on the table. The other design I thought it would be nice to tie in the ice skating scene. So having Buffy’s skating marks make the title seems nice.

For part 2 I thought of references the Madonna and holding Christ sculpture which is famous but I forget who made it. There are several shots in the episode that reference it during the church scenes. The other one I wanted to show Buffy and Kendra’s hands readying stakes.
