Having minimal previous experience with photoshop, I found this task difficult. 

At first, I was stuck just duplicating my teapot and changing its size and cutting out parts of the teapot which hardly disfigured the image or created any intrigue. Once I figured out how to stretch images on x, y and z axes, I started to create shapes that resembled less of the original image.

The needle-like form was my favourite, so I wanted to make it the central focus.

To create asymmetry, I positioned the forms and the dark red flowers at the top of the page. I made the background yellow to maintain harmony and keep to a minimalist aesthetic.
