Cat Cafe

I appreciate the design thinking approach that not only encourages divergent thinking to ideate solutions but also utilizes convergent thinking to achieve the best possible result. I believe that a powerful design is not just about "creating new things" but also involves the ability to converge existing elements in a creative way, resulting in an innovative solution.There is a commercial phenomenon resulting from this creative design thinking called the "cat-related market." In recent years, numerous cat-related projects have rapidly grown and flourished, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.I am a cat lover, and I enjoy the idea of converging the elements of cats and coffee. As a result, I coincidentally came up with the idea of designing a logo for a cat cafe that incorporates both the "cat" and "coffee" elements.
