A fictional government department has welcomed a major expansion in domestic battery manufacturing imagery.

The new facility will support up to 3,000 illustrated jobs, with additional opportunities for people walking purposefully across the foreground.

“These are high-quality jobs,” said a minister. “You can tell because everyone in the picture is wearing a hard hat.”

The development has already exceeded its landscaping targets and is expected to achieve net zero shadows by the next rendering.

A spokesperson confirmed that planning permission would be sought once the preferred camera angle had been agreed.
