Lorem Ipsum - 100

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used by publishers and designers to demonstrate layout without using real content. It originated from Latin text and has been used as standard placeholder text since the 1500s. Lorem Ipsum allows designers to focus on visual elements like typography, fonts, and layout before adding real content prior to publication. It remains in use today due to its normal distribution of letters that make it resemble real text and prevent distraction from layout designs.

What does Lorem Ipsum mean?

Derived from Latin dolorem ipsum (“pain itself”), Lorem Ipsum is filler text used
by publishers and graphic designers used to demonstrate graphic elements.

Let's say you're drafting the ultimate content marketing strategy. Lorem Ipsum is
placeholder text that stands in for meaningful content. It allows designers to
focus on getting the graphical elements such as typography, font, and page layout
in place first, before you move forward with the rest of your strategy. Before
publication, you replace the Lorem Ipsum text with your polished, high quality
content.

Typically, Lorem Ipsum text consists of a jumbled section of De finibus bonorum et


malorum, a first century, philosophical text written by Cicero. Words are added,
modified, or removed to make it nonsensical.

One of the main benefits of using Lorem Ipsum is that it can be easily generated,
and it takes the pressure off designers to create meaningful text. Instead, they
can focus on crafting the best website possible, and add in content after a page
has been designed.

Since the 1500’s, when a printer jumbled a gallery of type to create a type
specimen book, Lorem Ipsum has been the industry standard for dummy text.

Today, a variety of software can create random text that resembles Lorem Ipsum. For
example, Apple’s Pages and Keynote software use scrambled placeholder text. And
Lorem Ipsum is featured on Google Docs, WordPress, and Microsoft Office Word.

Why do we use Lorem Ipsum?


Many times, readers will get distracted by readable text when looking at the layout
of a page. Instead of using filler text that says “Insert content here,” Lorem
Ipsum uses a normal distribution of letters, making it resemble standard English.

This makes it easier for designers to focus on visual elements, as opposed to what
the text on a page actually says.

Lorem Ipsum is absolutely necessary in most design cases, too. Web design projects
like landing pages, website redesigns and so on only look as intended when they're
fully-fleshed out with content. Even if the design work is gorgeous, its quality
won't be apparent if all of the graphic elements are collapsed onto each other
because there's no content in place to fill them out.

Lorem Ipsum can be especially helpful for projects that involve social media
design, because it's virtually impossible to showcase a social media page layout
without any content.

Where can I get Lorem Ipsum?


Many variations of Lorem Ipsum exist today, and sometimes the text is altered to
include humorous phrases.

If you’re going to be using Lorem Ipsum as filler text on your pages, you need to
make sure that the passage doesn’t contain potentially embarrassing information.

Using our Lorem Ipsum generator, you can easily select a variation to build your
desired number of Lorem Ipsum paragraphs, sentences, or words.

In addition, our generator can insert HTML markup, create HTML paragraphs, and make
your text bold or italic. This makes it a great option for graphic designers and
webmasters.
