HIS314K Course Graphics

February 6, 2026 By Sasha Kenney

HIS314K Course Graphics


Last semester, I was tasked to create course graphics for HIS314K: The History of Mexican Americans in the US, taught by Professor Monica Muñoz Martinez.

I worked with two base images, experimenting with various takes on gradients and overlays.

Upon receiving feedback, I moved towards a more subtle overlay.

The image with people was selected by Professor Martinez, so I committed to using that for the assets, working from there. I worked with adjusting the logo and text distribution on the canvas homepage banner, as requested as well.

The client preferred the first choice with smaller text, so I was able to finalize this asset.

This semester, the client requested an edit to be made to the Canvas Homepage Banner and the Canvas Dashboard Banner- to change her name to Professor Monica Muñoz Martinez, so I applied this edit.

I really enjoyed this project. It taught me a lot about working back and forth with a client in a timely manner.
