What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in design mockups and prototypes. It simulates content, allowing designers to focus on layout and visual elements without being distracted by actual text. The text is derived from a scrambled passage of Latin, which resembles natural language patterns.
Uses of Lorem Ipsum:
- Design Mockups: To visualize how text will look within a design without using actual content.
- Prototypes: To test layouts and typography before final content is available.
- Focus on Layout: Helps designers concentrate on design elements such as spacing and alignment.
For example, a web designer might use Lorem Ipsum text in a mockup of a new website to show how text will appear in various sections, such as headers and body copy, without needing to wait for the final content.
