覺得跟前面的年份比較起來，現在會選錄一些偏向多元媒材、或是設計領域的創作者，
可以看到許多令人眼睛一亮的作品～

Although illustrations are not absolutely good or bad, the more recent years, the more I like the works included in it! (Maybe preference will also change XD)

封面是由香港創作者「門小雷（Little Thunder）」繪製。

她的其他個人作品集可以參考這些開箱：《SISTERHOOD: Selected Works of Men Xiaolei", "Kylooe Trilogy 10th Anniversary Collection Collection", "SCENT OF HONG KONG》！

● Little Thunder (门小雷)↓

The typography looks very comfortable, most of them are works with a few small pictures on the left page and a full page on the right page. Every illustrator has no more than 2 pages, and the whole book is very smooth to enjoy.

The information bar contains the community account, email address, and drawing tools (or media) of each illustrator.

There are several special interviews at the end, including art gallery director "Tajima Yoshinobu", illustrator "Yoneyama Mai", illustrator "Little Thunder" × art director "Arima トモユキ".
