Info

This project is a comic book exploration of the dark web and internet hacktivism, created as the final assignment for the Information Design course taken in fall 2024, taught by Lecturer Joel Rosen. The comic takes a deep dive into the hidden layers of the internet detailing how the dark web functions, its dual role in empowering activism and enabling criminality, and real-life examples like Silk Road and Anonymous. Inspired by Scott McCloud's storytelling style, the work translates complex technical concepts into engaging, accessible narratives that invite viewers to reflect on the ethical dimensions of digital anonymity.
