My next idea was to just create a more unconventional version of what is usually hung up on walls in general houses that isn't personal such as images of:
- fruits
 - still life paintings
 - flowers
 - animals
 
Found evidence of this on general house websites such as Debenhams and Ikea, and also just images of common interior design ideas.
Initially, I took a picture of the Capri-Sun on my desk as it had an image of a fruit on it and I thought it'd be funny and interesting enough to make my student audience put it up on the wall, while still relating to the idea of mocking general wall art.
I used the CMYK process of separating channels then bitmapping so that it would still represent the real object but have an interesting more personal effect as screen printing isn't always perfect.
When setting up the file, I need to select each CMYK channel and open a separate document where I then paste each channel, bitmapped at different angles then pasted back into the original file's CMYK channel.

When testing this out, I faced some issues with the outcome as when folded up, the options for what is shown on the book cover isn't very effective. The brand showing and the orange being the focal point might suggest to readers that this is a book about advertising or fruit. To try solve this issue, I tested the idea of a belly band - the belly band could include the name and a short description of the book to provide more context however I wanted to test more ideas as I wasn't too happy with the idea of a brand name on my book as realistically if this were to be mass produced I would face Copyright issues.
