Here are some additional tips that I am sure you will find useful and that will aid in your design productivity.
Much of the text you have seen in the examples throughout this book have been what is known as lorem ipsum text, commonly referred to in the design world as dummy text. Dummy text is used to create text for wireframes without having to type or use actual text that can distract from the design itself.
To find dummy text, you can go online to http://www.lipsum.com/ or you can stay within Balsamiq and use this very cool trick as follows:
1. Open
project_mockup_2.bmml
.2. Click on the first paragraph under George's Accomplishments and double-click, or press Enter, to make the content editable.
3. Place the cursor somewhere in the paragraph and type the word
lorem
.
Like magic, Balsamiq provides you with an entire paragraph of lorem ipsum text. Very cool indeed.
