Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
You can't really call yourself an art director until you've used 'Lorem ipsum' in a layout.
But where do art directors get 'Lorem ipsum' from?
I don't know the answer to that question to be honest.
But if I was an art director I'd use a Lorem Ipsum Generator. A handy web based generator of latin text.
Even better than that is the new Blind Text Generator which generates a variety of generic text for layout purposes.

From the appropriately-named lipsum.com:
"Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source."

And now you can say you know ;)
It's pretty interesting actually.

In my view, a person only needs a curious mind in order to succeed.
Of course, I'm still quite curious about why I'm not successful.

I'll keep working on it...
Lorem ipsum used to be generated within Quark Xpress back in the day, but now that InDesign has taken over there is a more generic 'placeholder text' that gets generated within the layout program, a latin based nonsense text output that is still very similar but doesn't actually begin with Lorem Ipsum.
A bit of useless information from an art director!!
