Glitch ArtBroken exactly right.

A recognizable image half survives digital corruption: RGB channels slip apart, pixels sort into streaked columns, and hard bands cut across the frame.

Make it yours

A good fit for

Experimental electronic nights, digital art shows, and hardware hack days.

A little art direction

Give the notes a clear, simple subject that can survive corruption, like a face, a hand, or a single object. Keep the event name short and expect a few letters to slide.

Create a finished portrait poster for a live music event, in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Produce the poster artwork itself, without a frame, wall, or room mockup.

POSTER TEXT
Use the following event information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the poster; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra event details.


ART DIRECTION
Interpret the supplied brief in Glitch Art style.
Visual vocabulary: RGB channel separation — red, green, blue shifts out of alignment; pixel sorting creating streaked columns or rows of colour; scan-line or interlace artifacts suggesting video signal failure; recognisable subject partially surviving data corruption; sharp horizontal banding cutting across imagery.
Lettering direction: type treated to the same glitch effects as imagery; text partially corrupted — letters sliding or colour-separated; clean digital sans where legibility is needed.
Suggested colors: base image palette fragmented; RGB shift adds cyan, magenta, yellow fringing.
Composition: full-bleed image field with text surviving in a less-corrupted zone.
Atmosphere: uncanny, post-digital, controlled failure, eerie precision.
Keep out of the design: analogue grain or film texture — glitch is digital, not analog, warm craft aesthetics, artificial yellowing or ageing.
Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy.

Make the event name the strongest text element. Keep supporting details readable, with clear contrast and comfortable margins. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
