Lorem ipsum is placeholder text typically used in designs to fill spaces before placing actual text, so the design appears in its final form. It also conveys no meaningful sense. Many website and page designers use it to show the client how the page will look when text is placed, just as a painter adds some preliminary touches to a canvas before starting the real painting. The idea of Lorem Ipsum emerged as a result of designers’ need to place temporary text in their designs, and these texts were initially random Latin texts, but the idea quickly evolved, and texts similar to Latin but actually belonging to no known language are now generated. The history of this text’s use dates back to the 15th century AD when a printing press used random paragraphs from Cicero’s book “On the Ends of Good and Evil” to display the shape and various types of letters. Some believe the reason for its use all these years is that it distracts the reader and prevents them from focusing on the actual text in the design, thus focusing on the overall design shape rather than the content of the texts.
