Dummy content, often referred to as placeholder text, is used in design and publishing to fill a space where actual content will eventually go. This allows designers to visualize how the final product will look without needing the final text. Common examples of dummy content include Lorem Ipsum, a standard filler text derived from Latin, which helps maintain focus on layout rather than content. Using dummy content is particularly useful in web design, graphic design, and print media. It helps clients and stakeholders understand the overall design and flow of a project before the real content is created. This practice ensures that the layout is effective and visually appealing, regardless of the actual text that will be used later.
