Beetle Battles is a 3-part project: a zine, a mobile app, and campaign designs based on the beetle-battling subculture in Asia. All applications celebrate and inform users about beetle-battling through a humorous approach.It’s time to train your own beetle!

The zine includes digital photos, hand-drawn elements, tactile/interactive elements, and sans-serif fonts to convey an informal tone.
Translating and applying the energy from the zine, the mobile app focuses on narrative and interaction by creating a story for the user to train their own virtual beetle. Similar to the zine, the mobile app also uses a mix of hand-drawn and real-life imagery.
