Handwriting Lab~

Although handwriting analysis is an interesting topic, when trying to find the criminal in a case, it might not be the most reliable thing. After completing our handwriting analysis lab in school, I realized that although every style of writing is unique, after practice, an individual can write almost identical to someone else. Therefore, when police are trying to use Handwriting Analysis to figure out the criminal, they might identify the wrong person as the criminal because of forgery. Above, you see the original sample done by Tala Khatib.

This is a freehanded sample tried once by Nicole Pridgen. Although it does not perfectly match the original sample, it is close enough to show that with a little practice, Pridgen could copy Khatibs writing perfectly.

This is a traced forgery done by Lizzie Paluso. Once, although it is not perfect, it is still much closer than the freehand and with a little practice, it could be identical to the original.
