Design agency celebrates Lancashire Day with launch of 'Lancashire Ipsum'

To celebrate Lancashire Day on November 27, Preston based Graphic Design Agency Quentin James Design, launched a new Lancashire themed service for the creative sector.

'Lancashire Ipsum' is a free placeholder text generator which is made up of spoken word colloquialisms which originate from the local dialect of Lancashire and the people who inhabit its many vibrant villages, towns and cities. Lancashire Ipsum has been developed to be used in the design, publishing and creative sectors, both here in Lancashire and beyond.

Explaining more about the new service, founder and lead designer Quentin said: "Graphic designers often create page layouts and mock up designs, for client discussions and as part of the overall design process. In creating these mock up designs, we often use placeholder text to help give clients a better idea of what a layout might look like when populated with paragraphs of text. Typically, designers would use traditional Lorem Ipsum (fake latin text) for this purpose."

"We're proud to be Lancastrians and we're proud to be a successful Lancashire based business. We developed Lancashire Ipsum to use in-house but thought with Lancashire Day being celebrated later this week, on Sunday November 27th, what better time to launch a FREE service for the creative sector in the county and beyond."

Lancashire Ipsum is FREE for anyone and everyone to use and can be found at http://www.LancashireIpsum.co.uk The Lancashire Ipsum Twitter account, which can be found at http://www.twitter.com/LancashireIpsum (@LancashireIpsum) provides daily 'translations' of each of the words and phrases used in the placeholder text, just incase anyone not familiar with our Lancashire dialect needs some assistance in understanding us proud Lancastrians.
