在創作的過程中嘗試了不同的場景，最後決定以童話故事的感覺去呈現小男孩與摯愛 (小貓)結伴一起探險的經歷。

Q5. Did you face any challenges during the creation? How did you overcome them? 在創作過程中是否遇到了任何挑戰？如果有的话，你是如何克服它們的？
創作過程中花了很長的時間去摸索，尋找手帳封面和童話故事之間的平衡，如何呈現小貓跟小男孩一起探索面前的未知。
由於是未知，前面的路要留白，不適合擺放太多配角，所以我們也在途中刪減了很多細節，避免太擁擠限制了大眾的想象。
It took a long time to explore during the creation process,
looking for a balance between the book cover and the fairy tale,
and a way to present the kitten and the little boy exploring the unknown in front of them.
Because it is unknown, the road ahead should be left blank, and it is not suitable to put too many supporting roles.
Therefore we also remove many details during the creation process to avoid being too crowded and limiting the imagination of the public.
Q6. Are there specific themes or messages you wanted to convey through the cover? 你希望通過這個封面傳達哪些信息？

不要放棄，多點創作。每一次的創作會讓你的思考更敏銳。
