I started the Design Foundations Course today and so far I have found two errors.
The first error is located in the quiz for the "Great Designers" video. One of the 9 questions asked is, "Who designed the Apple logo?". None of the four designers listed designed the Apple logo. The question accepts "Paul Rand" as the correct answer but this is simply incorrect.
The second error I have found so far is that the quiz for the "Color" video does not exist.

Now, I'm not sure if this is a mistake or the meaning of the question was different. Only the creator of the video can truly answer.

I apologize for the confusion. The question should read "Who designed the IBM logo?". It's now fixed. Thanks for finding that error. Again I apologize for the confusion.
Also Livia-Alexandra Sarban you are correct that Rand didn't in fact create the Apple icon. However he did create the brand identity for NEXT which was started by Steve Jobs. NEXT was then transferred through to Apple when Jobs joined back up with them.
Again sorry for the confusion. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to tag me in the post.

8,410 PointsThis was my first real design course and it was wonderful to learn so many new things. I always imagined I need to be an artist to do design, so this was definitely an eye-opening experience.
Congratulations Matt on transferring so much knowledge and positive energy!

Other reference material and definitions usually break texture down into Actual Texture vs Implied texture, which is defined as a texture that is only visual and not tactile. So according to other sources I've seen Implied texture and visual texture are the same thing.
Anyone else with more experience than I have want to weigh in on this?
Mat Helme
Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Jon Ryea ,
Implied & Visual texture are characteristics of 2D design like web design which is a digital medium. Actual texture and implied texture refer to 3D objects.

10,882 PointsThanks Mat, that helps clear things up for me. Awesome course and I can't wait to test out this design process on an actual website.
