Wide angle distortion can be achieved when using a lens that has a wider cut and also being very close to the subject in order to emphasize the distortion. The object will look abnormally larger when compared to the objects in the photograph. Distances are also altered in a way that is extended. This happens because if the subject is abnormally larger than the objects in the distance, then objects with appear smaller which creates more distant. Wide angle distortion is great for exaggerating or being creative for a project of any kind. However, since the lens are wider than normal lens, this distortion is not ideal if you want to shoot proportionately without abnormalities.
