Hi everyone!
I’m just wondering if anyone knows how to contact the media team at Burnley FC (or any club?)
I create graphics as part of therapy for my mental health and am looking at getting into this for a career. Ideally I’d like to work with Burnley but I would be made up creating graphics for players or teams in any way shape or form (except for those lot down the road obviously

)
Here’s a link to my Twitter with all my graphics I’ve created so far:

If anyone knows how I can get into this, your help would be appreciated!

If you have LinkedIn then if you go to Burnley football clubs page there’s a list of employees, you can see their job titles, connect with them and send them a message

John here (aka claretcrumpet from Twitter world). As previously discussed, your graphics are absolutely fabulous. I know how much they mean to you but more, how they’ve helped you and your wellbeing. Keep at it.

He’s not. I think he came from Bradford City a few years ago now. He’s press officer now but I think convered the youth team when he first came.

Not to be a buzz kill AlwaysClaret1882, I say this with the best intentions and to hopefully help you, not put you down. Your work looks great.
I'd maybe proceed with caution contacting the club, or at least what you share with them. It would appear that many of the images you use aren't royalty free and could be in violation of copyright laws. See
point 8 on the Terms of use
https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/leg ... rms-of-use
You are not the only one, there are lot's of fan pages who make their own edits and many of them won't have permission to use the images they do either. As a local club, we seem to turn a blind eye to it, but it does worry me that should they wish, the club or InCrowd Sports could enforce these policys whenever they like, especially if yo use them for monetary gain. (I noticed you also sell prints on Etsy)
I am a marketing manager & graphics designer for a large worldwide brand, so I pay attention to these things.
I've seen your work on Twitter for some time now, your work has certainly improved. Just please, be careful.

Hi Mark, not a buzzkill at all, thank you for trying to help! I’m aware of the copyright and that I can’t gain monetary gain from the prints so I removed the Etsy store (must still be showing as live so will have to look into that).
Honestly, I’m hoping by contacting the club then they can hopefully help me in some way
