You Can't Please Everyone

 In all three of my classmate’s blogs that I have read so far, I seem to be the odd one out as far as opinions go on the Harvard Crimson’s layout.  Angela gave it a C, Josie was not overly impressed, and Derek while commenting that it was professional, didn’t really keep his attention.  While I would not claim that the layout was perfect, there are some small things they could do to improve it (such as making their masthead more prominent or adding a pdf of the print edition of their paper), I thought it was overall pretty well done.  They had a slideshow, videos, plenty of graphics, and lots of articles.  Perhaps part of one’s preference is entirely personal.  I mean, what looks good to me, may not look good to Angela.  And what looks good to me may not look good to her.  It would be so hard to be a layout editor, because no matter what you do, you can’t please everyone.
