Using Dummy Text in Your Newsletter
Sounds like Latin, right? Well, it is—sort of. “Lorem ipsum” is the beginning of a pseudo-Latin text passage that is widely used by designers as a type of placeholder for text. In other words, it is “dummy text” that is intended to be replaced with actual content and allows the designer to envision what the page will look like with text in the proper places. In the world of graphic design, this is referred to as “greeking.” By using this “filler” text, designers can review the layout of the publication without being distracted by the actual text. It can also help when content is late in coming.
You Ought to Be in Pictures!
Photos are some of the easiest illustrations to obtain. You can purchase photos from various sources for use in your newsletter. But it is more fun to take them yourself. Even better, let your readers submit photos to be included in your newsletter. Just place a notice in your newsletter asking your readers to provide pictures of a new baby, a couple’s anniversary photo, or even items they want to sell in your newsletter’s classified section. Adding photos is a great way to personalize your publication and to add some fun, too!
