Design Team: Cesaroni Design & Gateway

Cesaroni Design and Gateway developed this computer monitor. Gateway created the core electromechanicals to define product specifications and usability features. These details formed the basis for concept development.

The ideation process focused on a distinctive look and feel to help product branding. The new product design began with sketches and was completed in CAD. Significant user and style research drove the selection of the family look for the line.

This product design incorporates large intersecting curves and a unique ventilation pattern. This vent pattern helps the product run at a cooler temperature and exceeds standard requirements.

Our industrial designers raised the height of the device for a more ergonomic sightline to the screen. Located below the screen is a wheel control. This control allows users to scroll through menu options and adjust a variety of image settings (i.e. color, contrast, brightness, etc.).

This new product is an aesthetic counterpart for other Gateway products. The design team kept the tower case and keyboard in mind when developing this monitor. The top edge of the monitor and bezel around the screen resemble the edge and bezel on the tower case. The crescent shape in the base fits the obverse crescent shape on the keyboard. This family look helps unify Gateway products to create a harmonious line of computer equipment.
