Lorem Ipsum generator
Categorised under: Interface design
I have just stumbled across a website offering a Lorem Ipsum generator. What is this? Well, it’s the dummy text that you will often see in interface design mockups, and this website will generate as much of it as you need. To explain:
Lorem Ipsum, or Lipsum for short, is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lipsum 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. It has survived not only four centuries, but now the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lipsum.
