About my design

by ozf5
You've heard of a spaghetti western? How about a spaghetti space opera featuring red sauce and meatballs on the dark side.



Remember kids. as all of your jedi moms used to tell you, "Use the Fork!"

I might lower the utensils just a bit to make the top line easier to read. It's an old joke but this is a good execution. I really like the design overall.

I agree about the utnesil lowering, and maybe have a knife lightsaber and the fork top look lik an x-wing or something, a luke/dark vader white/black salt and pepper shaker on the side, etc. Still spiffy idea and presentation!

I believe penne alla arrabbiata is the official pasta of the Death Star (or it's death by tray for everyone!)

Thank you everyone for the comments. This was a fun concept to do and based on the comments I think that fun trranslated to the design. I was thinking about trying to work some bowtie fighter pasta into but wanted to keep the design simple, but who know, maybe there will be a sequel...

This is really nice - I was wondering if you were inspired by the Simspson Star Wars epsidoe, were this play of words was used?



I really like your concept.

ozf5 on Feb 18 '10
queenmob--glad you like the concept. I haven't seen that episode of the Simpsons, I like the Simpsons, I just rarely get to watch them.



Years ago, I was working at a screenprinting shop and I wanted to do a 1 panel cartoon t-shirt design of a Rebel Alliance/Empire golf tournament and have a ghostly Obi-wan helping Luke choose the correct golf club: "The four Luke. Use the Four."



That inspired me to do a similar gag using "fork" instead, but I was thinking more long a Miss Manners theme. But I never came up with a design that I was happy with for either idea.



Cut to several years later, when I decided to design this shirt for Threadless and I chose to do the Fork over the golf theme.



When I arrived at the idea of a meatball Deathstar everything fell into place (except I had to figure out how to create good looking spaghetti that fit the style in Illustrator!)

Thanks again everyone--and keep the feedback coming!

i like the idea alot! the meatball deathstar is amazing. and the fork and knife placement is perfect. if you move them youll be able to read it better but then the whole look of the shirt will be messed up. great job!

i find this presentation to be confusing and annoying.



the utensils could have been shaped like lightsabers.

nice, but not sure about the colours (for Star Wars) - I agree with uncrossing the cutlery, and letting the letters show better - great Death Star
