Welcome to my web site
My name is Grant Gibson. I'm the Digital Innovation Manager for the Herald & Times Group, the company behind The Herald, Evening Times and Sunday Herald newspapers, heraldscotland.com and s1, publishers of s1jobs.com.
My work is pretty much a 50/50 split between idea generation and hands-on design and development. Recent projects include: the design, front-end coding and some back-end development for heraldscotland.com; production of NewsBeats, an automatic tool to measure our speed at breaking news vs the competition; and implementation of various time-saving systems such as OCR document scanning.
In my spare time I'm a keen maker, trying my hand at anything from putting my doorbell online or building my own weather station to designing and fitting out my new garage/summerhouse.
I occasionally take on some freelance design, animation and game development. Clients include:
- United Feature Syndicates
- British Waterways
- Glasgow Science Centre
- The Media Shop
- Scottish Crop Research Institute
- Celtic Football Club
