The Other Reason why Lorem Ipsum is Bad for Designs

Ain’t gonna lie. There’s something about Lorem that I just can’t stand. I hope she doesn’t take it personal, but I try to avoid her as much as possible. She’s not very clear about her intentions and she needs to learn proper English already.
Lorem is a runway supermodel with a fixed size body. All the major designers build containers that fit Lorem perfectly. This sets up a false sense of what all containers and text boxes should look like. We all know the text boxes of the world come in all shapes, sizes and dimensions, some are too big to fit in Lorem’s perfect containers, others too small. It’s time for the major designers to make containers that represent a wider range of text boxes out there. FAT TEXT BOX LIVES MATTER!
Fred,
That is the greatest analogy I have ever read…
