Fighting For The Worker's Future: Join The Factory to back your FUTURE!, Print on paper, 2025.
Inspired by Cold War-era propaganda materials from the USSR and the USA, this series of posters, through the narrative of a factory, aims to highlight how confronting imagery and text can create a distorted copy of reality, and mold the populace into the desired agenda by those in power.
This work is created so the Factory can create a false positive image and hope in working for them, suggesting the workers to only think of “working hard”.

My name is Nathaniel Fong, and I’m a designer specialising in 3D graphics. My passion lies in experimenting and developing new styles and techniques that bring 3D models to life.
Most of my projects begin with a central aesthetic or character, which gradually evolves into a unique identity and style. Throughout my time at VCA, I’ve become more experimental, exploring new visual directions with each project. These have included comic, gothic, and filmic styles. Now, in my last project, one inspired by the Cold War era.
