We were tasked by Zanzara Press, an imprint of Culicidae Press, to design the interior and cover for Derrick Drisdel’s new book titled The Keys to Life, Volume 1, a catalogue of insights/life experiences (or keys) the author learned initially from his father, and later began to collect during his life to share with the world. The book has 196 keys that the author hopes, as he writes in the introduction:

…will give you an objective approach to situations that may occur in your life, and that the keys may someday open doors to you that would normally be closed. My hope is that, as you read this book, you open your mind, think about the information being shared, and develop an objective approach to some of life’s challenges. If you use these keys, I guarantee you that they will help you free your mind. And if I may quote my former boss George Clinton: “Free your mind and your ass will follow.”

The book will be available worldwide through Zanzara Press at the beginning of August 2022.
