Among design professionals, there’s a bit of controversy surrounding the filler text. Controversy, as in\u00a0Death to Lorem Ipsum.<\/p>
The strength of\u00a0lorem ipsum<\/em>\u00a0is its weakness: it doesn’t communicate. To some, designing a website around placeholder text is unacceptable, akin to sewing a custom suit without taking measurements.\u00a0Kristina Halvorson\u00a0notes:<\/p> \u201cI\u2019ve heard the argument that \u201clorem ipsum\u201d is effective in wireframing or design because it helps people focus on the actual layout, or color scheme, or whatever. What kills me here is that we\u2019re talking about creating a user experience that will (whether we like it or not) be DRIVEN by words. The entire structure of the page or app flow is FOR THE WORDS.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote> Lorem ipsum<\/em> is so ubiquitous because it is so versatile. Select how many paragraphs you want, copy, paste, and break the lines wherever it is convenient. Real copy doesn’t work that way.<\/p> As front-end developer\u00a0Kyle Fiedler put it:<\/p> \u201cWhen you are designing with Lorem Ipsum, you diminish the importance of the copy by lowering it to the same level as any other visual element. The text simply becomes another supporting role, serving to make other aspects more aesthetic. Instead of your design enhancing the meaning of the content, your content is enhancing your design.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote> But despite zealous cries for the demise of\u00a0lorem ipsum<\/em>, others, such as\u00a0Karen McGrane, offer appeals for moderation:<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Among design professionals, there’s a bit of controversy surrounding the filler text.
