tai-yama.com - Website for Rapper ‘Tai’ aka ‘Yama’
August 28th, 2008
Taisuke is globetrotting rapper from Japan. Raised in Germany, UK, Japan and now in Singapore, he is up on his way as an indie rapper. Having already gotten a flash website, he wanted to set up a blog section as well.
In course of conversation we were able to find that the project was more than just a blog. It is more of a reach-out website to function as an updatable portfolio as well a platform to showcase his work. So the focus was ease of navigation and easy to read typography.
The website features a home page with image based navigation and boxes to show tags, music and a shout-box. The Image Navigation Box points to diferent aspects of the artists online presence ( Facebook, Blog, Myspace, Mixxi etc..). The tags are generated with flash and the shout-box and the music player adds additional interactivity to the front page.
The inside of the blog was kept simple to navigate with blog chronology and includes a flickr gallery and a downloads section.
At the back-end the site is integrated with Google Apps, Google Analytics and has been monetized using Nuffnag and Google Adsense.

Personal Note on Tai
Talented, bright and ambitious are three words which wont even do justice in describing him. Has the ability to be logical as well as be creative a trait found in so few artists and is an absolute stand-up person. You should check out his work at tai-yama.com/blog.
