So what is Something Beautiful

3 Girls, 2 Channels and 1 Idea equals Something Beautiful.

SB is a zine being created by three girls at Nottingham Trent University studying Fashion, Communication and Promotion. Combining our love for Photography, Art and Style we are producing a magazine focused on these three creative outlets. We have 5 weeks to take this from a concept to completion and launch SB at the respected London Zine Symposium on May 29th!

Something Beautiful isn’t quite what you may expect. We promise to bring you aesthetically pleasing, yet insightful images that we hope will provide food for thought! Something Beautiful represents not necessarily the image itself but the meaning behind it. To keep SB tied to its Nottingham roots the zine has been contributed to and collaborated only by NTU students. This will remain the same for every issue, however these talented people will change as we will always be sourcing the new talents and trendsetters. We will always begin sourcing inspiration for SB from the unusual city that we live and study in and have come to love.

We promise to bring you honest, warming and thought proving articles and images in the form of zine you would be happy to place on your coffee table (of course that’s just our opinion you will have to see the finished product to believe it!)

We will always relate our issues back to Photography, Art and Style and pose the question ‘What is your Something Beautiful?’
