The smell of fresh baked goods filled the
air along the beautiful beach side. The salt
water breeze twirled and twisted around the
beach-goers sprinkling their skin with crystals
of the Aegean. A sense of excitement filled
the atmosphere as children played with their
little water toys; the cool ocean water lapping
at their ankles. A distant yet powerful memory
that still lasts in Leona Xidas’s mind.

and get some lunch.” Leona ran up the
beach side, small pebbles rounded and
smoothed from years of erosion tickled
the bottoms of her young agile
feet.
Her mother waved to her from the first
restaurant nestled at the corner of Agia
Fotia’s little oceanside town. Her families
restaurant was dressed in blue and white.
The tables sat along the outskirts where
people sat and had their afternoon
coffee with the beautiful view of the
endless ocean. “What would you like to
eat today Leona?” Asked Yiayia, Leona’s
grandmother, the chef of this beautiful
abode held up a tray of her finest
moussaka and laid it on the counter to be
served to all her customers.

had been a part of her life. Traveling there
with her family almost every summer, she
was able to spend time with her aunts, uncles,
cousins and was able to build experiences that
she will always cherish. With a family full of
chefs and restaurant owners, Leona has had a
lot of exposure to food and has developed a
passion for it. Memories of her father teaching
her how to bake bread from scratch, her uncle
showing her how to make chocolate cake
taste like more than just chocolate cake, her
grandmother providing such good customer
service that her name and restaurant spanned
all the way to America. These memories
are what drives Leona and gives her the
confidence she has when it comes to food.
To her, it is so much more than something
we need to eat to stay alive. It is an outlet
that brings families together, a way to bring a
smile to peoples faces, and also a way to keep
someones memory within a family even after
they pass. Recipes in her family are always
passed down from generation to generation
and will continue for years.

When it came to coming up with a worthy
idea for the senior project expo, Leona knew
she wanted to do something that related to her
Greek heritage. After her father passed away,
it became increasingly more difficult to keep
her heritage alive in the home. Mihail, Leona’s
father was the glue between all things Greek in
Leona’s upbringing and environment. Without
him, it was almost as if it was impossible to
find anything Greek. Since his passing, Leona’s
family has been working endlessly to keep
on top of everything so finding time to travel
close to an hour into Astoria, the Greek hub
of New York, is not always possible. For Leona,
she holds onto her heritage through the little
Greek restaurants in her neighborhood. In
reality, these places should suffice but to her
they don’t because often times they are not as
authentic as they could be.

the Greek outlet, was born.”
The product was narrowed down to
the concept of Atlas, the Greek Outlet. A
solution that would help solve the problem
of a lack of authentic Greek presence within
the community on Long Island. This is an
experience to help people learn more about
what true authenticity looks like within the
Greek culture. A restaurant featuring live
Greek music and dancing is one part of this
solution. Another aspect is a market place
as the entrance to the restaurant where
consumers will be exposed to various Atlas
merchandise as well as hand-made goods
created by Greek-Americans. Goods will vary
depending on who supplies their goods to
the market and what kinds of specials are
run. Under the same roof, a large catering
hall will be constructed as the second floor
to the restaurant. Food will be catered from
the restaurant below and the Atlas company
will be able to help who ever is renting out the
all with simple things like decorations, music,
and other accommodations. The last aspect is
a large community garden located on property
to help the restaurant offer fresh fruits and
vegetables to dive into the authenticity of
Greek food. These gardens will also help
provide fresh fruits and vegetables to local
food banks and pantries. The concept of the
gardens is to not only benefit the community
through Atlas but to also help those who are
less fortunate have healthy meals as well.

The first step was to create a basic layout
for the restaurant. Knowing the basics of the
concept, Leona was able to loosely construct
a low fidelity prototype out of paper and
tape. This layout consisted of only one floor
of which had an area for the market place, the
restaurant seating, the kitchen, bathrooms,
office and outdoor seating. This was the very
first iteration of what the Atlas restaurant could
look like. It wasn’t until Leona user tested the
restaurant that she found that the community
wanted to see more from this concept. This
is where the concept for a catering hall and
community garden came into place. The idea
of having large glass doors that open up to
the outdoor seating was another concept that
was explored after the first prototype was
assembled and explored.
Accommodations such as a market stock
room, and a back stage set up area for the
musicians was also thought of to push this
concept even further into actuality. After a
second round of user testing, more in depth
add-ons were brought up such as an elevator
to the second floor as well as a catering set
up area. Another add on is a party room on
the first floor behind the market that will host
smaller parties. A bar area of course is also a
necessity that was added in to accommodate

gardens
The food is something that will make this
concept stand out from the rest of the Greek
Restaurants on Long Island. Leona knew that
the food would be another large focus as
it is something that she feels so passionate
about. She asked, “How can I make this menu
feel as authentic as possible when there are
so many different types of Greek food from
all the regions of Greece?” Well, while this is
true, there are select foods well known all over
Greece that all Greeks know. Those will serve
as a base for the menu and then perhaps a
specials menu can be offered to portray four
meals from a specific area, for example, Crete.
One idea in the beginning was to dive into
the concept of farm to table but while many
people thought it was a good idea, many
others addressed a very true concern of meal
reliability. This means that meal options will
change depending on the availability of fresh
foods. This is something that can be very costly
to a restaurant. The concept now is that Atlas
will have their own garden area providing a
portion of the vegetables and fruits needed to
create that similar atmosphere of farm to table.
But with green houses, some of the produce
can be more consistent. A large portion of the
fresh produce will also be donated to food
banks across Long Island to help give back to
the community as well. Greeks are known for
having gardens full of fruits and vegetables.
Having this a part of Atlas will only further
push this concept into its true authenticity.

The website will offer a depiction of what
Atlas has to offer. The home page will serve as
the about us page where viewers will be able
to learn about why atlas was started and where
the concept came from. They will also be able
to learn about the community gardens and
get a sneak peak at the merchandise sold on
the shop page. The shop page will offer Atlas
merchandise only to purchase. The main goal
of this page is to sell some merchandise but to
get people to come down to Atlas itself for the
home made goods sold. Leona does not want
the website to serve as a substitute to social
interaction and community building so that
is why the website is more limited than the
restaurant outlet. Another page is the menu
page where viewers will be able to see what
kinds of meals are offered at atlas. The contact
page will serve as a community gate way to
questions and concerns of the people who
experience Atlas. The catering page is there
to help those who plan on renting the spaces
available reserve a date and time. Here, viewers
are able to select the accommodations they
would like and the help they need planning
their parties. This of course could also be done
in store with a manager to help with any one
on one questions the customers may have.

Desserts
The menu was created and thought of just
as much as the restaurant and website. One
major issue with many Greek restaurants
are that they have enormous menus with
pages upon pages of confusion. For Atlas, a
smaller menu with more consise options is a
user tested and approved solution. A menu
with many affordable options that offer fresh
ingredients is something that some think
may be impossible but not for Atlas. That is
exactly the kinds of foods Atlas prides itself on
providing. The color pallet was implemented
through the iconic Atlas mosaic pattern that
boarders the menus. Bold typfaces help make
the titles stand out and draw attention to the
consumer. The layout is simple to aid in the
legibility of the menu. Olive branches break
the pattern of the boarder to help establish
more of that atlas brand.

problem
When it comes to Greek food here on Long
Island, there are a lot of options. There seems
to be a little Greek tavern in every town with
a stereotypical name and cute decor some
family member brought from their house in
Greece to decorate the walls on the inside of
their tiny little restaurant. The sound of faint
Greek music coming from the stereo hidden
next to the register creates a murmur across
the seating area. Waiters and waitresses ask for
orders from menus a meter long filled with so
many options customers get confused, so they
pick what they know, a gyro. This is a sad reality
for most Greek restaurants on Long Island and
it is not just Leona Xidas who believes it; it is
the community as well.
Growing up, Leona remembers spending
an hour and a half sitting in traffic on the
Long Island Expressway to go get dinner at a
beautiful Greek restaurant in Astoria with her
family. Here, the smells of Greece tended to
come back and the feeling was heartwarming.
Sitting down at a restaurant where the waitstaff
could correctly pronounce the food and then
being served one’s dinner just as if one were in
Greece was an amazing experience as a GreekAmerican.
But is it worth the time it takes to
get there? As a person with an insanely busy
schedule, the option of going to Astoria is
pretty much decided for her. She wondered if
she was alone in this issue or if more people in
her Long Island community also felt this way.

gives us healthy options.”
So Why atlas?
Many people factored into the current
concept of Atlas. That is what makes Atlas
such a community driven concept. What Atlas
became through user testing and research is
a Greek Outlet; an authentic Greek restaurant
that offers authentic meals with ingredients
like fruits and vegetables that come from
its very own community gardens, a market
place stocked with Atlas merchandise and
handmade goods from he community, a
catering hall and party room for those who
want to have authentic Greek Weddings or
for those who want to have that destination
wedding with out all that distance, and the
ability to give back to the community through
the large community gardens held to not only
produce for the restaurant but for the people
of Long Island in need.
This is why Atlas is so important to not
only the Greek community but also to the
community who wants to keep culture alive.
The ability to not only show the community
that their voices and their needs are heard is
something most Greek Restaurants don’t do.

Leona’s competition can be narrowed
down to basically all Greek Restaurants. Plainly
stated, people may be more inclined to go to
the Greek restaurant that is right around the
block from them. But when Atlas provides an
experience, not just a meal, consumers will
not be able to pass the idea up.
To state, one direct competitor is Platia
Restaurant. They claim to offer great food and
an authentic environment, but in all honesty
they are missing one of the biggest Greek
experiences of all and that is Kefi. To put it
simply, it is a sense of confidence, of good
humor, and happiness. When a Greek person
has Kefi, it is like there is a light shining from
within them. Platia offers expensive prices and
a cold hearted environment which is opposite
of what a Greek restaurant should be about.
The second competitor is Laterna Greek
Restaurant. As one of the only places on Long
Island that offers live music nights on Fridays
the expectation should be pretty high but they
serve Italian meals as Greek options.
Leona’s third competitor is the Hard Rock
Cafe and while that may raise some various
questions, the restaurant layout inside is what
brings these two concepts together. With a
market as the entrance of the restaurant and
then the combination of live music in some
of their restaurants, some may say that they
are very similar, but of course Atlas will bring
a culture to life and not a music genre. This
layout was chosen for Atlas because Leona
wanted to bring her consumers’ interests to
life such as a market with hand made goods
and restaurant merchandise, authentic food
with a farm to table inspired menu, even a
catering hall, all concepts and ideas requested
by the community for the community.

Leona’s interviewees were an accumulation
of community members as well as a few family
members. After the interviews were conducted,
she put the questions online through an
online survey to ask an online community
beyond Long Island for a cumulative answer
of the questions. While there was no direct
connection between he people who completed
the survey and Leona, It was interesting to see
what a general population had to say as well.
From her data, Leona found that almost
all of the people she interviewed wanted to
see more from the Greek culture. The said that
they wanted to learn and experience more
from the culture. The community saw the
inauthenticity of the Greek restaurants around
them and wanted to know what a true Greek
experience would be like outside of Greece.
The interviewees also stated that they loved
the concept of farm to table which at the time,
was a large variable of the food ingredients for
the restaurant. All Greek-Americans admired
that the true Greek cuisine was found in
a local garden meaning that locally grown
ingredients will be able to hone in on creating
that authentic experience. Over all, the data
pointed directly at the fact that people wanted
more from the Greek community and didn’t
want to be forced into the city to experience
that. Once the data was collected, it was
processed to create three personas of which
were used to describe the types of customers
Atlas would target.

The primary persona is The Greek. He is an
entrepreneur and a family man who came to
America when was eighteen years old with a
green card. He wanted to make enough money
to be able to move back to his country and
live comfortably after he saved enough money.
Instead, he began a construction company and
stayed for years. He started a family and began
utilizing hobbies like fishing to keep to his roots
and occupy his spare time. He would make
enough money to send his wife and children
to Greece. This meant that he would not get to
go back to his homeland as often as he wanted
to but he wanted to show his children the
life he grew up with. His frustrations are the
cost of tickets to travel to Greece. He believes
that the prices are outrageous. Prices make it
hard for even the people he knows to travel to
Greece. Another frustration is that there isn’t
any authentic Greek culture to show his own
children on Long Island. He tries to find time to
bring them to, Astoria Queens, but struggles as
it does take a lot of time to travel to and from
to find good Greek food and authentic culture.
Wishes there could be a better solution.

The secondary persona is The Cultural
Enthusiast. He is 26 year old business owner
who works endlessly to keep his graphic
design business afloat and tries to make as
much money as he needs to support their
lifestyle. He works long hours at his job in the
city and has a long commute to and from his
home every day. He loves to experience new
cultures and learn as much as possible about
those cultures. He is very open to try new
things but has little time through out the week
to do so. He tries new food when he has the
opportunity and enjoys learning about the
cultures he experiences. His free times are
reserved to the weekends the he is off from
work to explore and learn or through his oneweek
vacation he reserves himself every year
to travel to a new country. So far he has been
to six different countries and has learn two
different foreign languages. His frustrations
are that he wishes there was an easier way to
explore cultures and countries without having
to travel to them. He wishes that there were
more options to explore a countries culture
outside of food.

The tertiary persona is The Foodie. She is
a retail worker who loves to experience new
things. She currently goes to college part time
while she works to pay her tuition off. She is a
young adult who enjoys finding new restaurants
that offer organic and healthy meals. She finds
it hard sometimes to meal prep and keep a
healthy meal plan through her week. She eats
out often because she goes to school and does
not have the time to cook for herself. Her time
is spent doing school work and working at her
local retail job. Her frustrations are that there
aren’t enough restaurants that offer healthy
meals as well as cultural meals. She believes
that a lot of the new age restaurants that pop
up lack a sense of culture and authenticity.
She wishes that there are more options to
explore healthy meals within restaurants. She
also wishes that there were more cultures she
could explore but wonders how she will know
the difference between an authentic cultural
experience and an Americanized depiction?

After narrowing down the Atlas concept a
bit, it was necessary to conduct one on one
interviews with the community to be able to
asses if indeed the community felt the same
way as me about this cultural issue on Long
Island. Leona knew she needed to ask people
who identified as Greek- Americans as well as
people who were other nationalities. After all,
a restaurant should service all people.
Her first step was to come up with a list
of questions to help guide her interviewees
quickly through the interview. She hoped
to be able to ask as many important and
relevant questions as possible. The questions
needed to be open ended to help create a
fluid flow of natural and candid answers. Some
of the questions where: “Have you ever had
Greek food? If so where and how was your
experience?” Or “Have you ever experienced a
Greek restaurant that left you upset either by
service of by the authenticity of food.” Another
was “ Do you wish that there was more of an
authentic presence of cultures like the Greek
culture here on Long Island rather than in the
city?” These questions raised more questions
which kept the interviews fluid and informative.
The list for people who did not identify as
Greek- Americans was a bit different than that
of Greek- Americans because certain questions
did not pertain to one another. For example,
the Greek- American interviewees were asked
some questions based off of the authenticity
of the Greek food here on Long Island. If the
others answered that they have never been
to Greece for one of Leona’s questions then a
different set of questions were asked instead.

One question in particular which was
asked to every interviewee was, “what is the
first words you think of when you think of
Greece?” This became a staple of the Atlas
project as the answers were used through out
the project even after the personas where
created. The answers to the question help
make the community feel included into the
process of Atlas. The communities words
such as beautiful, historic, and family were
utilized in typographic layouts that will be
used throughout the project as well as in the
prospective restaurants on accent walls in the
main restaurant.

The visual strategy behind Atlas surrounds
itself within the Greek culture. Many Greek art
styles are utilized throughout the branding.
The logo is a montage of many Greek icons.
The logo’s dissection begins with the loose
hand drawn aesthetic used to link back to the
pottery found all over Greece. Most potters
will use their fingers to design linear designs
within the pottery making a two tone design
on the surface. Elements added into the logo to
provide linkage back to iconic elements found
in Greece. While they may not be as iconic as
the Parthenon, they are elements found in a
majority of the country. The ocean of course
to provide linkage to the Mediterranean sea
which unify the country and its thousands
of islands. The hand drawn font links to the
potters signatures. The aspect of utilizing the
hand made essence throughout the brand not
only links this back to Greek styles but also
to provide a sense of warmth and familiarity
to the brand and its customers. The color
pallet is found from within a picture taken
from Greece. These colors are used to set the
brand apart from other Greek restaurants who
mostly use the same blue and white duo-tone
color scheme.
It also sends a colorful and
lively message to the customers.

Strategy
Leona new her marketing strategy needed
to target a multitude of target markets. Her
target consumers are of all age ranges and
demographics so her advertising needed to fit
that as well. This will ensure that many people
will feel that they can experience Atlas. That it
is not just a place for young adults or for the
middle aged. A correct marketing strategy will
help the future customers understand what
Atlas has to offer before they come down to the
restaurant. It will also make a huge difference
in whether or not the customer wants to come
or thinks it will be worth their time.

than just gyros.”
For Atlas, the first step is to create social
media accounts. Through here Atlas will be able
to post pictures of foods, events, informational
about what musicians are playing,
market products, etc. While the posts
new
will
vary depending on the social media platform,
they will all feel unified through the brand.
This will help target the online generations.
Another marketing strategy is magazine ads
through local
food magazines. These
will
help target people who may not be active on
social media. The next marketing strategy is
a mail out voucher that will be sent out the
community. This will have three small coupons
they can access either in the market place, in
the restaurant or even online. This will be the
first experience they have to the Atlas brand so
having something to entice them to come to
the restaurant will benefit the establishment.
Promotional items will be produced for the
purchases. Various atlas merchandise like
buttons or stickers will be added as a “thank
you” for shopping with Atlas.

hearing your stories about Greece and how passionate you were about it convinced me to be
passionate towards this project. You are and forever will be my greatest influencer and for that I
will always be grateful. Thank you for building such a strong foundation of pride for my family
and my culture.
To my mother - Thank you for being a strong, amazing, and supportive role
model to always look up to. Having you by my side as not only my mom but my best friend is
something I will never take for granted. Thank you for all the endless memories and for always
being there to talk to when I needed it. You gave me the courage to push this project to its
ultimate Greek-ness!
To My Love - You are my driving force, the rock that keeps me steady, and my
sanity. Thank you for being you and a part of my life. You will forever be my design partner and
I can’t wait to see how far we grow together as not only designers and creative thinkers but as a
couple as well. Thank you for making these four years memories I will always cherish. Here’s to
many more years my love.
To my Professors - You know who you are! Thank you so much for providing
me with the design knowledge and creative thinking skills I need for my future. Every one of you
has had an amazing impact on me as not only a designer but as a growing young adult. I will
never forget all the professors I had the pleasure of working with and learning from during my
time here at Farmingdale State College.
To the Professor who started it all -Thank you for
noticing my talents in your Intro to Photography Class. If it wasn’t for your recommendation
to join the Visual Communication dept. I would have never had the second chance at a career
choice. I would have been bored out of my mind in a law office. But now not only did I find a
