Helmet is like a jersey to every driver. It represents him. Well designed and painted helmet is a personal item to each racer. I design helmets based on the needs of customers. First we set the layout, what a driver wants to have on helmet, what colors are the right one for him. I always try to look for something personal that can express something from the driver’s personality to make a helmet special for him and then apply it to overall design, not only to place several lines here and there on the helmet. The point of custom helmet design is to come up with an original yet in some way personal solution. As every person is different,has different needs and likes, it brings out many solutions for me to create original custom painted helmets. You need to think outside of the box but still consider the technique of painting to be able to execute the design on a real helmet. That’s the beauty of designing, each project brings new challenges.
