Color: The color palettes are varied, often featuring vibrant, sometimes jarring color shifts caused by the glitch effects. While the base images might have a realistic or semi-realistic color scheme, the distortion introduces unexpected and often intense hues, creating strong contrasts and visual disruption. Neon colors, saturated primaries, and rapid color changes are characteristic.
Lighting: Lighting in the original images is often obscured or distorted by the glitch effects. While there might be hints of dramatic lighting or ambient light, the dominant visual effect is the illuminated fragmentation and glowing digital noise. The lighting feels artificial and unstable, reflecting the technological nature of the distortion.
Design Technique: The styles emphasize digital manipulation techniques such as pixelation, color banding, motion blur, fragmentation, and visual noise. Realistic portraits or figures serve as the base, which are then heavily distorted and abstracted through these effects. Compositions often focus on the face or upper body, allowing the glitch effects to transform and fragment the human form. The styles convey a sense of digital instability, technological disruption, emotional intensity, and the visual experience of corrupted data or sensory overload.
