I'm trying to design a death star like image in 10 gores to be printed out as stickers and be applied on a perfect sphere.

I first tried to design a simple flat deathstar image:

And use a program that crops the image into 10 gores:

As you can see, if one would stick these gores on a sphere the image would be totally distorted, this can especially be seen on the circle but is present all over the image.

How can I design a image like the second image which is not distorted?

Thanks in advance!

In this particular case, why not design the gore stickers without the dimple? Then apply a single round sticker for the dimple over the other stickers.

I'm not sure what your death star is made from, but you could also cut the dimple part flat and at the same time cut out the gore stickers in a circle where the dimple will be applied.

Try going the other way. It might be faster. It will be more accurate.

Draw your design on a "blank" globe.

Cover the globe with tracing paper. (Cut gores into a blank sheet of tracing paper. Wrap the globe using your cut template)

Sketch the DeathStar onto the paper cover of the globe.

Unwrap the paper cover "template" noting placement, shape and direction of the elements that seemed distorted in your initial attempt.
