I don't use Carbon, but I would say I endorse using images to help prevent copy/pasting of source code. My last research paper [1] studied the results from students that completed optional typing exercises while learning Java. In

I think PP is great; however, I do not like to use it as an educational practice. Why boils down to two ideas - a) you are not hired in teams, so you cannot rely on classmates; and b) we've made students so scared to help each through

You're assuming the logo will be good; which I didn't say. A logo is just another design exercise with constraints. By doing them, you'll see what you hate and work to avoid for your next design.
