Lorem Ipsum is what designers use as dummy text to fill in where there will be words, but they don’t know what it will be yet. “Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.” Lorem Ipsum is a great substitution for real text because the distribution of the number/variety of letters in each sentence is typical for regular text, and it flows nicely. Here’s the beginning of it:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
I found a bunch of funky ipsum-substitutes! Thought I’d share the love, and maybe you could use one of these to mix it up next time.
