Abstract

In the ever-more-perfect world of computerised design, When the software seizes up or glitch happens, there are chances for the designer to exploit those glitches more creatively, The corruption of a binary code can produce some surprisingly attractive effects, Artists work on They take advantage of them in their designs, which is called glitch art, and this visual style characterized by using of optical glitches or digital or analog errors, whether in the still or moving image for aesthetic purposes, whether that is intentional ((faking glitch) and obtaining a similar aesthetic through design), or by corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices or software, and taking a picture of the defect as it is randomly unexpected by chance (a true manifestation inside of the system without human intervention) to get these errors .

The unintended distortion caused by digital crash has led to an entire, mind-bending sub-genre of graphic design and is a great opportunity for brands. Not only is the form visually stunning, the inherent provocative nature of glitch art creates a memorable image behind a product, Although this artist-focused, haphazard-looking art form seems to operate without guidelines, this highly experimental nature is one of the most alluring aspects of this art form, although it creates a challenging task for its maker. The process of making great glitch might seem daunting, but the rewards of aesthetic innovation are well worth the effort, the idea of the research Proving that electronic technologies are still open mediums for expression and creativity and have consequently created another avenue for designers to reimagine products, logos, typography and much more.
