A brief to design special edition packaging for a favourite film. I took the Joker's logic literally: open the box and a timer starts counting down. The only way to stop it is to take the discs out.

Designed, printed, assembled and delivered in two and a half weeks, including sourcing the materials and wiring the timer.
