Contrast.
simply means different. Size, shape, color, texture… anything that distinguishes. Slide9
The idea behind contrast is to avoid elements on the page that are merely
similar
. If the elements [...] are not the
same
, then make them
very different
.
(from Robin Williams,
Non-designers Handbook)

that are related should be grouped together, whereas separate design elements should have enough space in between to communicate that they are different.

About Lorem Ipsum
Lorem
Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It
has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was
popularized
in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum
.
Why Do We Use It
It
is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
Many
desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for
“lorem ipsum” will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected
humor and the like).
