Cover artwork for a scholarly book published by Anthem Press.
Chinese TV in the Netflix Era is a scholarly publication that explores the landscape of Chinese television, with a particular focus on online drama series, or webisodes, while considering the influence and competition of Netflix, a key symbol of today’s global streaming era.
The cover design features an iconic scene from traditional Chinese costume dramas, a genre deeply rooted in Chinese television culture. Over this backdrop, dynamic bullet comments (danmu), a popular interactive feature on Chinese streaming platforms, display trending viewer phrases and reactions.
This visual combination establishes a viewing atmosphere that reflects the contemporary and uniquely Chinese digital media experience.
