2. John Tobin | bio
I have been providing design solutions for over twenty-five years
in both traditional and digital print media as well as, more recently,
web design.
My design experience serves as a compliment to my ability to
understand, from initial discussion with a client, their requirements
and how best to achieve results oriented design solutions.
Operating as axis:id, I provide design solutions to businesses in
both print and web media.
I am a Past President of the (Society) Institute of Designers in
Ireland and have represented Ireland at Congress in Europe.
I have also served as a National and International Design Awards
judge.

There is no one correct recipe for
fresh pasta. In Italy, different
regions have different ways
of making it. Some
places only use
eggs and flour and
others use only water and flour.
Some cooks add a little salt and
olive oil, some do not.
How do Benitos make their pasta? We basically
make our pasta the way they do
in the Emilia Romagna region of
Italy - with just fresh eggs and
flour. All freshly made daily.
axis:id is responsible for all of
Benitos Italian Restaurant’s design
output having recently re-designed
their identity, packaging and menus.
