When it comes to glitches, there is no room for compromises. Neat, polished, thorough distortion doesn’t bear that distinctive grunge vibe, so what’s the point? Here I invite you to go all the way and discover what the authentic rough glitch should be like. This effect was inspired by the old-school TV sets with an unstable image that rippled every now and then. Yet this noise made watching movies impossible, it has become a true icon of visual distortion and an endless source of inspiration for designers who prefer going against the tidy image canons.
Allow yourself to immerse into the fascinating glitch too, and may it be your powerful weapon to remove the neat polish from photos. A couple of clicks and a regular image will transform into an example of underground art! Actually, this freebie is a tumbler, and as you switch it ON and OFF, it consequently switches an image from classic to old-school and corrupted aesthetic. No magic, just the power of Photoshop!
