miska designs graphic design Miska Designs has provided custom goalie mask designs to both
the college and pro level. Todd Miska is the wizard behind some of the most intriguing
graphics every to adorn a goalie mask. Each design is done by hand from start to finish
and created exclusively for When creating a custom goalie mask design, usually the owner of
the mask has an idea or an image that he/she would like see come alive on their mask.
Goalies are a breed apart, and their personalities usually take the form of the graphic
design placed upon their goalie mask. Todd will get the basics and then from scratch
produce a design which will eventually The process starts with Todd taking the goalie mask and stripping away any and all paint that is present on the mask. Once the surface is clean, a base coat of white primer is place on the mask.. Todd then takes agreed upon design and makes a sketch of the entire design on the helmet. After getting one side of the mask sketched in, he uses one of two options. Option one is to project the design on the other side of the helmet to insure the size and placement of every detail is consistent on both sides of the mask. Option two is to have the mask placed in front of mirrors to allow Todd to see the sketched side of the mask in different angles and then to reproduce the exact sketch to the remaining side of the mask. Then painstakingly painting and airbrushing the image until the final graphic design is complete.
This is only half the process, the mask has to be clear coated and baked to insure that the paint will not be chipped by pucks that hit the helmet. The helmet is wet sanded and polished for a mirror like finish that is not only durable but a sight to behold. Todd is a perfectionist at his artform, and his clients agree that he has the magic touch.
