1. Stage Performance
The stage is set in a non-theatrical way with just the
artists and their instruments on stage. The lighting is
featured in sections or strobes, and there is often a tint
to the lights. For example in this photograph there is a
red tint to the lighting as blue coloured filters have
been added for effect. Smoke machines are also
sometimes used on stage to create an atmosphere.
Costume
The bands clothes are very casual. Their dress doesn’t
reflect any particular movement or style. Clothing they
wear is pictured here, commonly seen from The Kooks
are jackets, shirts, jeans and t-shirts featuring common
materials such as cotton, leather and denim.

2. Album Artwork
The Kooks album artwork has varied over their many albums and
singles. However their logo has stayed consistent throughout. The
words “The kooks” placed one after the other feature on all of their
advertising, merchandise, albums etc. The album artwork also
usually features strong colours that often contrast, and there is a
predominant use of light and dark contrast within the images. The
colours used are usually similar to red and blue to mark the fact the
kooks are a British Band.
Website Design
The Kooks website,
www.TheKooks.com is set up through
the photo sharing sit www.Tumblr.com
on which you can create your own blog
and post/repost photographs. The
website offers a blog on which The
Kooks post photographs as they tour
around and also offers the standard
options of store with merchandise and
upcoming live dates. Fans can follow
the blog, and keep track of the bands
progress as they tour, this makes the
website design very interactive and
appealing to dedicated fans. There are
also hyperlinks to follow the band on
facebook, twitter, gmail etc. The design
is very simple and echoes the
minimalistic logo and font of The Kooks
styling.
