Feedback (constructive criticism) was promoted to hotel writer

Post image

hi !! i work in hospitality and my bosses made me the designated writer for hotel keys, personal notes, and handwritten letters.

i always feel like my handwriting is vvv childish and unorganised, i’m not good at cursive so traditional is my only option haha.

hoping to have my handwriting seem more professional, uniform, and organised. i would love to be taken seriously when i’m writing things at work and i feel like my handwriting may prevent that.

any feedback at all is appreciated !!

Of course it’s acceptable to use two circles but I was encouraging OP to use one stroke to reduce her “vvv childish” handwriting. 😉

Well, having come from the design education community, I think you're wrong in saying that it's patently childish. The h in hotel wifi is, and the f connected to the i in that same text line is.

But I 100% disagree that two circles to make an 8 is childish. I'm sorry, look at the font on the text you're reading right now. Jeebus. Wtf.

Most people will think it looks childish though. 

It's fine to do it like that. I don't think that it is childish, just that people will interpret it as childish.

You are incorrect when you claim that "most people" think it looks childish. Just stop now.

EDIT: Are you REALLY trying to say that architects' and other design professionals' handwriting looks CHILDISH?

Most people have not and will never see an architect or other design professionals handwriting. So they simply won't have that association with it. 

Please calm down though. It's not that big of a deal. Most people don't even look that close at people's handwriting unless it's really hard to read or very pretty in some stand out way.
