about

Ballad Of magazine was established in 2008 as a platform for emerging artists to showcase original work without compromise. Ten years on, Ballad Of is still a source of fresh talent which focuses on photography, design, illustration, fashion and more.

​

The magazine acts as a reference and source of inspiration for the creative sector, giving insight into emerging artists, trends and aesthetics.

​

Ballad Of is a testament to and product of free thinking, true passion and a hunger to find creative talent at the edges of a competitive industry.

​

Each issue centres around a fictional character or a broader theme, which our contributors use as a loose brief to explore and interpret in their own way.
