It\u2019s unreal, uncanny\u2014it makes you wonder if something is wrong; it seems to seek your attention for all the wrong reasons. Usually, we prefer the real thing\u2014wine without sulfur-based preservatives, real butter instead of margarine\u2014and so we\u2019d like our layouts and designs to be filled with real words, with meaningful thoughts, and information that has value. <\/p>

The toppings you might choose for that TV dinner pizza slice when you forgot to go grocery shopping, or the makeup you might slap on your face to impress your new boss\u2014that\u2019s your business. But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes\u2014will your clients accept that you take the easy way out? The experts in our field will tell you in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is a huge, huge no-no that must be avoided at all costs. Not so fast, I\u2019d say\u2014there are some redeeming factors in favor of using placeholder text, as its use is merely a symptom of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed. <\/p>

You start with a text, then you shape the information.<\/h3>

You pare down what\u2019s unnecessary, get to the point, clarify things, add value\u2014you\u2019re a content person who loves words. Design isn\u2019t an afterthought\u2014far from it\u2014but it comes in a well-deserved second place. Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum\u2014and rightly so\u2014since it will always have a place in the web worker\u2019s toolbox, as things happen\u2014not always the way you\u2019d like them to, not always in the order you\u2019d prefer. Even if you\u2019re less into design and more into content strategy, you might find some redeeming value in\u2014wait for it\u2014\u201cdummy copy,\u201d no less. <\/p>

I\u2019ve heard the argument that \u201clorem ipsum\u201d is effective in wireframing or design because it helps people focus on the actual layout, color scheme, or whatever. What really bugs 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. <\/p><\/blockquote>

If that\u2019s what you think, how about looking at it the other way around? How can you evaluate content without design? No typography, no colors, no layout, no styles\u2014all those elements that convey the important signals that go beyond the mere text: hierarchies of information, weight, emphasis, subtle stresses, priorities\u2014all those subtle cues that also have visual and emotional appeal for the reader. <\/p>

Or else, an alternative approach: establish checkpoints, networks, processes, and connections between content and layout. Depending on the situation, it may be best to focus on either design or content, shifting gears as needed. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
