It\u2019s unreal, uncanny, makes you wonder if something is wrong, it seems to seek your attention for all the wrong reasons. Usually, we prefer the real thing, wine without sulfur based preservatives, real butter, not margarine, and so we\u2019d like our layouts and designs to be filled with real words, with thoughts that count, information that has value.<\/em><\/p>

You begin with a text, you sculpt information, you chisel away what\u2019s not needed, you come to the point, make things clear, add value, you\u2019re a content person, you like words. Design is no afterthought, far from it, but it comes in a deserved second. Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThe most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can\u2019t be any large-scale revolution until there\u2019s a personal revolution, on an individual level.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tJim Morrison\t\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted open source software for your client\u2019s needs. Then the question arises: where\u2019s the content? Not there yet? That\u2019s not so bad, there\u2019s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn\u2019t fit in the can.<\/p>

Try telling a client to ignore draft copy however.<\/h3>

That\u2019s not so bad, there\u2019s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn\u2019t fit in the can, the foot\u2019s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can\u2019t quite tell right now, but they\u2019re unhappy, somehow. A client that\u2019s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client though.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
