Measured Drawings The document wallet is possibly scanned using A3 scanner because of the panel form. The object is printed in A4 papers as it is being scalled down to 1:2.
The two sections is showing the difference forms that can occur when the document wallet is fully folded or fully opened.
The dimensions are measured using ruler to the real object but traced down using the A4 printed scale.

Analysis
MATERIALS DETAILS
FUNCTIONALITY PERSPECTIVE
Outer part of the document wallet uses hard and solid material to hold the original form (panel), where inside part has more flexiblity in it to allow the possibility of different forms in the movement occurs.
The outer part of the document wallet has thicker material than the inside part. As it is also used for the functionlity purposes, which is to protect the documents inside it. The flexibility of the inside part material, has allowed the document wallet carrys many documents.
FAN-FORM PRINCIPLES The pink lines represent one segment that being sticked to the others. It holds the segments together when it is being streched.

MAKING PROCESS The reconfigure object is used folding and twisting to create volume into the sketch model. Only the inside part of the document wallet that being chose due to the flexibility of it. Because the size of the document wallet is too big, I cut some of the segments and folded it. As the flexibility of the material is high, I was able folded the object for the second time and even twisted it afterwards.

Sketch Design #1 The Closure of Vision
What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words]
INSPIRATION Sometimes people only see, decide and judge things from their own perception without trying to cosider someone else’ perceptions.
A thick material will be used to allow the user not seeing anything
How does this respond to your personal space? The sharp-front part covers the user’s eyes as as it is the most crucial one in the human body parts that being used to engange with surroundings. Because the eyes is being covered, the user will not only seeing things from single point of view (which is considered as their own perception). 10
Sketch Design #2 Restricted, Transparency, Flexible
What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words] INSPIRATION There are people who ristrict themselves in doing something that does not follow with their thoughts or beliefs.
The material will be flexible so it can wrap the users body.
The transparency represents how the user has its right to express his thoughts or beliefs through the restrictions
How does this respond to your personal space? The folded panel is used to limit the user’s hands as they often being used in doing daily activites. It will restrict the user to move freely or do actions.

Sketch Design #3 Shield for Defensive, Repetition
What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words]
The fan-like form has formed due to the flexibility of the material and need to be protected by the outer part which has hard material. However, this idea will explore different things by combining the fan form and hard-stiff material for protection purposes.
INSPIRATION After exploring the document wallet, the fan-like form is important to the functionality and form of the object. Repetition is also clearly seen in the fanlike form.

How does this respond to your personal space? The shield is designed to fit the user’s body so it can cover them. It is acted as a defensive shielf to protect the body from an attack.
