About the Work
As the “House of Communication”, the Serviceplan Group publishes TWELVE magazine once a year. TWELVE is the group’s individual review of the past 12 months and a platform for the opinions, perspectives and people currently influencing the world of communication. With an overarching theme – which, amid the coronavirus pandemic, is “Rethink” for the 2020/2021 issue – TWELVE covers the most important topics and trends related to brands, media and communication. In essays and interviews, the renowned international personalities we have met throughout the year share their thoughts on these subjects. And in specialist articles and reports, experts explain key developments and present innovative projects.
The “Rethink” theme not only runs through the current issue of TWELVE like a common thread but is also reflected in our rethink of its visual concept. We handed over the magazine to internationally renowned artist Jonathan Meese as a “blank canvas”. Without setting out any guidelines or restricting his creativity in any way, he was given a raw version of the layout containing only texts and photos. The resulting artwork still takes on the form of a magazine but one that disrupts the reader’s viewing and reading habits. Thanks to this second, artistic level, the “Rethink” concept is emphasised anew on every page, inspiring the reader to think beyond the contents and layout.
With a print circulation of 10,000 copies, TWELVE is sent out to the Serviceplan Group’s most important clients and contacts in Germany and abroad, as well as providing an overview of the company’s various activities and projects to our own employees in all international office locations.
