Hi Peter.
This design took about an hour for me. Alot of my inspiration comes from old adds I see in "A Magazine About Letterheads", Signcraft magazine, fellow letterheads, painting, package design. I pretty much absorb anything I see that I like and try to emulate or put my spin on it. Package design is a great way to get inspiration. I probably look weird to folk just looking at packages in the grocery store! I cant help it! I look at everything, I can be watching a movie and checking out the signs and lettering in it before the actors!
As far as how fast I did it, its basically all practice to me and I even tried out some new elements in this design to see how they would look. After absorbing all that I see I can usually come up with something within 5 minutes or so and execute it.
