The book cover design for The Dream of the Red Chamber integrates traditional Chinese symbolism with a modern AR experience. The physical cover uses a rich red background to symbolize love, fate, and the intense emotions of the story, while supporting colours like green and yellow evoke wealth, power, and aristocracy. Key design elements include jade locks and blossoms, which represent protection, fate, and the fleeting nature of life, all central themes of the novel.

The AR feature adds an interactive layer, allowing readers to explore the emotional depth of the story. When scanned, the cover reveals falling peach blossoms and poetic lines from the novel. This immersive experience invites readers to engage with the novel in a new way, connecting its visual elements to the story’s deeper meanings.
