In setting up a Step-by-Step for my 1st year Graphics Design students, I found a bit of information that all of my students - and I - can benefit from. Have a look at the Sample selected type here on the left. Notice that the text is in a foreign language. We, in the industry, have always referred to this sample text as "Greek" text. If you do choose Graphic Design as your career path, you may run into this text at some point. I have had reason to use "Greek" text over the many years that I have been designing. I never had a reason to search out the roots of this simple "tool" I use quite frequently. Now that I have a reason to know the roots, I think this is something you can all use going forward . . .
Here is where I got my information http://www.lipsum.com/
Please go to this website and read about Lorem Ipsum.
Now, design an Informational Flyer using Lorem Ipsum in some way. The specs (specifications) for your Flyer are as follows:
8.5 x 11 • 1-Sided • 4-Color • Non-Bleed.
The Topic of your Informational Flyer is . . . wait for it . . . Lorem Ipsum.
Reminder - Do at least 3 thumbnail layouts before you do any work on the computer!
