Video: Typography Tip: What is the Lorem Ipsum text and how can I use it?

The "Lorem Ipsum" is a section of text that is used when designers want to look at layout or typefaces without being distracted by content. For example, in the video Typogaphy Tips #1 Choosing Typefaces, I used the Lorem Ipsum to create this slide:

Here is an example of the text:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin quis augue sapien, imperdiet dictum ante. Maecenas in neque in sem pulvinar adipiscing non ac risus. Donec gravida, justo nec consectetur mollis, sem leo tempor sapien, id ornare odio massa vitae tortor. Integer consectetur nibh fermentum nunc porttitor vitae suscipit tortor consequat. Fusce quam lectus, dignissim non commodo sit amet, tincidunt at lacus.

The short video below shows you a site where you can find a Lorem Ipsum generator that will create blocks of text in any length and format you want. The video illustrates the site: http://www.lipsum.com/
