Useful websites for proposal people

I thought I’d share a couple of websites that I’ve discovered recently, that might come in handy for proposal folks out there.

The first is an excellent free image library, Stock.XCHNG . Some of their images have download restrictions, but most are free-to-use. There are some excellent photos up there – well worth exploring if you need some new illustrations for your documents.
The second is perhaps more esoteric. Lorem Ipsum is a site that can generate dummy text in Latin. As the site explains:
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.
Not only does it have the standard passage that’s widely used (“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua”), but it also has a couple of alternative passages from Cicero, and allows you to generate new text of any given length. Again, it might just come in handy for some of you out there.
