Lorem Ipsum has been the standard placeholder text in typography and graphic design since the 1500s, when an unknown typesetter scrambled a passage from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil) to create type specimen books. It was popularized in the digital age by Aldus PageMaker in the 1980s. Its Latin origin makes it unreadable to most viewers, which is intentional — readers focus on the layout and typography rather than being distracted by real content.
Designers prefer Lorem Ipsum over real content in early design phases for several reasons: it removes content debates from layout conversations, it is available instantly without waiting for copywriters, it fills space proportionally like real prose (unlike "AAAA AAAA AAAA"), and it is universally recognized as a placeholder by clients and reviewers.
For final client presentations, consider switching from Lorem Ipsum to real or realistic content in your mockups — studies show clients make better feedback decisions when they can relate to the actual text. Use Lorem Ipsum for internal layout reviews and switch to real copy for stakeholder sign-off.
