PrivacyToon: Concept-driven Storytelling with Creativity Support for Privacy Concepts

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 Pri- vacyToon’s potential as a creative tool for communicating privacy concepts and stories. Our results show that a wide range of creativ- ity preferences and contexts must be considered when designing systems that integrate ideation card-based design processes.
