## Inkscape Placeholder
Embed image placeholders with custom height and width into Inkscape:
- Beautiful Image backgrounds from [unsplash](https://unsplash.com/)
- Random User avatars from [adorable](http://avatars.adorable.io)
- Categorized Placeholder Images from [lorempixel](http://lorempixel.com/)
## How it works
Find 'Add Placeholder' extension under the _extensions_ menu in the top bar
### Unsplash: Add a image background from _unsplash_
- Choose _From Unsplash..._
- Select the desired image width and height
- Apply and wait a few seconds and a beautiful random image will be loaded into your work area
### Add Adorable: Add a user avatar from _adorable_
1. Choose _Add adorable..._
2. Choose the desired adorable size and the adorable name. Nota that same name will always produce the same adorable. Random strings will produce random adorables!
2. Apply and wait a few seconds and a random adorable avatar will be loaded into your work area
### Add placeholder from Lorempixel and choose image category
1. Choose _From Lorempixel..._
2. Select the desired image width and height and choose the category

## Motivation
For designers, it is very useful to add image placeholders to their designs to see how the design could look and how image fits in space.
It is also useful to help clients see a temporary image that could help them understand better how a design will look in the future.
