Great “Lorem Ipsum” tools for designers
Tired of always using Lorem Ipsum for your design layouts? Typography and graphic designer legend Erik Spiekermann has written a great post about creating better dummy text for your design layouts.
He recommends a variety of tools that generate better fake copy for your work:
Adhesiontext allows you to set the different character sets for your generated text (Spanish, English, Portuguese), as well as lowercase or uppercase settings.
Just Another Test Text Generator seems to be the best out there. You can specify the language you want, the characters you want, lowercase or uppercase, plus the amount of letters in words. It’s a fantastic tool that will make your text look more natural.
If you’re on a mac I recommend the Corporate Lorem-Ipsum generator. It creates great corporate talk for those dummy Memos you’re designing. It also lets you control paragraph length. It’s a good one.
And just in case you want to bookmark it, here’s a link to the ultimate Lorem Ipsum generator.
