To put it in another way, try to design with realistic data. Eg designing a grid layout with lorem ipsum filler content can easily lead to not addressing issues when presented with real data. What do you do when a title wraps to the next line? How do you handle different length descriptions. Is some of the data optional?

- karaterobot 4y agoOh, that's the one that bothered me most. If you can guess how long the copy in each section is in order to write it, you can just fill in that same space with lorem ipsum, and now you haven't wasted time working on something that's going to be thrown away. Testing with multiple lines and strings of different length is a different matter — you should do that anyway. But writing paragraphs of marketing copy and headlines? Not a good use of my time.
