Each transfer and tribute needs visuals carefully curated, which is where Liam Harrison comes in. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic designer feels a small word for what Liam Harrison and his colleagues do at Sky Sports; &#8216;visual storytellers&#8217; might be a better term. They are essential in bringing sports stories to life for their audience and it takes a mix of a sharp eye for design, careful preparation, and the ability to create stunning visuals in chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor big sporting events like the Women\u2019s Euros this summer, we have graphics and branding planned months in advance. But for breaking news that happens on the spot, we often have 10 or 15 minutes to come up with something, so you have to be really on it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>However, just because they have limited time doesn\u2019t mean they can sacrifice the quality of the designs. The team at Sky Sports News is made up of 20 people across the Sky Sports network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn &#8216;Good Morning Sports Fans&#8217;, we have around 10-15 requests between  5am and 8am. It can be quite challenging, but the longer you work here, the more you get used to the fast nature of the newsroom,\u201d says Harrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each post is also crafted to exacting specifications &#8211; next time you watch Sky Sports, you might notice their design rules. Premier League graphics are in blue, EFL is in red, and each sport has specific fonts and gradients.&nbsp;The team primarily use Adobe Photoshop for their designs, as well as Illustrator for graphics and infographics and After Effects for animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, creative freedom can still flow. One of Harrison&#8217;s favourite projects was being involved in designing the set for The Transfer Show live at the Battersea Power Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was my first time designing a set. Seeing your artwork printed out in real life is a great feeling\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5IJF0Ol84J\">pic.twitter.com\/5IJF0Ol84J<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Liam Harrison (@LiamsGraphics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiamsGraphics\/status\/1800938849415332144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 12, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-divi-layout\">[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#09300B&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|-60px||-3px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3px||5px|5px||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,1_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-21px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;38px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/06\/ross-cooke.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;ross cooke&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Read More: &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-4px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-3px|-281px||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h2 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/2025\/04\/16\/ross-cooke-sports-photographer-f1-football\/\">Ross Cooke: The photographer behind sport\u2019s most iconic moments<\/a><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another memorable graphic Harrison made was a farewell tribute for Trent Alexander-Arnold when he left Liverpool. It wasn\u2019t breaking news, but Harrison explains how the project inspired him: \u201cI took inspiration from all the murals around Liverpool, which the city\u2019s quite well known for. I created a piece that reflected a brick wall with some of his best moments on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This ones extra special\ud83d\ude0d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BCFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkySportsNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SkySportsNews<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BCFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BCFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I5d9Cfra9p\">pic.twitter.com\/I5d9Cfra9p<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Liam Harrison (@LiamsGraphics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiamsGraphics\/status\/1909732934644310024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Harrison&#8217;s own team is Birmingham City. He says there&#8217;s not much room for bias in the design world &#8211; &#8220;you just have to make what gets put in front of you&#8221; &#8211; but there was one satisfying moment for his own team recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been quite fun this season as I got to make the promoted graphic after we broke the points record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fast-paced nature of the job does come with its challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes you have a really good idea for a graphic, but the turnaround is so fast-paced that you only have time to do something really simple. That happens all the time, but you have to learn from it and adapt,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most rewarding parts of the job is the variety of projects, including commemorations for momentous people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI designed a look that celebrated the life of Sven-G\u00f6ran Eriksson. It was a project that involved several different people \u2013 journalists, news editors, presenters, video editors, and more. Those projects are a real team effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road to this rewarding work isn&#8217;t necessarily easy, but Harrison has some simple advice for anyone interested in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep learning, keep practising, and take yourself out of your comfort zone. I\u2019m 100% self-taught, and I\u2019d never have got where I am today if I hadn\u2019t done work for free and posted on Instagram and Twitter every day. Just keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fast-paced sports media industry, it\u2019s people like Harrison who can remain creative in the chaos, who shape how we see the sports we love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-divi-layout\">[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|-95px||-95px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;7px||2px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Sidelines Recommends&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;Smooch Sans|600||on|||||&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#09300B&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-38px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||4px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-24px|-95px||-95px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blog posts_number=&#8221;1&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;30&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blog posts_number=&#8221;1&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;30&#8243; offset_number=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blog posts_number=&#8221;1&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;28&#8243; offset_number=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky Sports is one of the UK&#8217;s breaking sports news powerhouses &#8211; but it&#8217;s not just the pundits on screen who make it happen.
