Is there a better way to represent text in a layout or design?
"Lorem Ipsum" is good at taking your attention away from the text to showcase the design as a whole but I think it looks unnatural for typeset design.
Why is it used and is there a better way?
What alternatives the experts use for dummy/placeholder text?
Answer
This history is not for you its for others who also somewhere want to know about lorem ipsum incase
Lorem Ipsum commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. The lorem ipsum text is typically a section of a Latin text by Cicero with words altered.
Even though "lorem ipsum" may arouse curiosity because of its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is comprehensible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design elements and page layout in order to direct the focus to the publication style and not the meaning of the text In spite of its basis in Latin, use of lorem ipsum is often referred to as greeking, from the phrase "it's all Greek to me" which indicates that this is not meant to be readable text.
a very detailed example from designinformer about how lorem ipsum is killing our design.
