SKET ISSUE 01 DECK
The Concept
sket is an independent South London culture house covering music, nightlife, fashion, culture and the people shaping diverse communities.
originally launched in 2020, sket was created as a space that reflects the energy, humour and identity of London; particularly the communities, scenes and personalities that often exist outside traditional media spaces.
after a three-year break, sket is returning with a renewed focus: building a platform that documents the people, places and conversations that make london and diversity culture what it is.

the magazine
at the centre of sket’s return is our new print magazine which will launch in January with new issues put out every four months. We’ll explore and celebrate diversity within city life. through interviews, photography, commentary and storytelling.
Rather than chasing traditional celebrity coverage, sket focuses on authentic conversations with artists, DJs, creatives and everyday people with interesting stories to tell.
Each issue will explore the themes that shape culture, from nightlife and identity to community, creativity and the changing face of London.
The magazine aims to feel personal, honest, raw and visually distinctive: something that captures a moment in time rather than simply reporting on it.
We want to speak to our audience with authencity.

The media and the public are very quick to move on from tragedies like those involving Caroline Flack and Jason Arday. Once the story disappears from the headlines, so does the conversation, until it happens again.

This issue also translates to the social media climate we are living in today. All too often people feel very comfortable to post degrading comments that have the ability to affect a person's mental health. This is not about policing people's freedom of speech, its about human decency.
You wouldn't walk on the street, pass someone and make demeaning comment's about their body image for them to hear. So why would you feel comfortable doing it behind a screen? Ask yourself, does your need to express the insult give you more value than protecting their self esteem?
more Specifics..
We have a policy of positive/neutral publication only.
everyone involved in production of sket magazine is credited.
content within our publications will be promoted on social media and eventually uploaded to our website for free public viewing.
Content within our publication may also be given extra reach through social media. For example, if one of our writers has a piece on London nightlife, we could create a short video exploring the topic further to accompany and extend the original article.
