Concept-driven Storytelling with Creativity Support for Privacy Concepts 🎖
While comics can be an effective medium for communicating privacy concepts, existing privacy and security educational comics do not support content creation. To address this, we developed PrivacyToon, a comic authoring tool that helps users create customizable privacy-related visual content.
You can watch the tutorial below to see how it works (or try the the system at https://privacytoon.github.io/). For a more detailed breakdown of the system, please see our paper
We conducted a within-subject study with 18 students and 5 teachers. As shown in Fig. 2, the study consisted of the following steps:
By analyzing 46 comics created from the study, we found various design dimensions for privacy comics (cf. Fig. 4). For detailed explanations of these dimensions, please see our paper.

abstract = {With privacy-related concepts often abstract and difficult to define, comics can be an effective visual storytelling medium for explaining and raising awareness about privacy. However, existing privacy and security educational comics do not support content creation. To address this, we contribute PrivacyToon, a comic-based authoring tool that leverages concept-driven storytelling and ideation cards to help users create customizable privacy-related visual content. Our exploratory user study with 23 students and teachers shows PrivacyToon’s potential as a creative tool for communicating privacy concepts and stories. Our results show that a wide range of creativity preferences and contexts must be considered when designing systems that integrate ideation card-based design processes.},
