Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 is Adobe’s latest software update to their entire CS collection. Whether you are a photographer, graphic designer, web developer, movie editor, book or magazine publisher, or just trying to create a professional-looking project on your own time, Adobe CS 5.5 is the best software for you. And we are not just saying that because Adobe was nice enough to let us have a version of their CS 5.5 Master Collection to give away. At Leafaholic, we use Dreamweaver and Photoshop almost daily!

So how can you get your hands on this awesome piece of software normally worth $2,599?

How to Enter

Create a logo for our new network of websites which we will call Leafaholic. The logo can include anything you like. It can be created in Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Paint, or whatever else you’d like (though we obviously prefer Adobe software!). It can be a picture, an icon, anything! The only rule is everything must be created by you (i.e., no stealing content using Google Images). Play with the word and see what you come up with. The logo we like the best will be used as the official logo for our new network of websites and you will win a brand new copy of Adobe CS 5.5 Master Collection Student and Teacher.

This contest is open to everyone in all countries of all ages. You do not need to be a student to enter.

Added May 26: More information regarding Leafaholic since there have been some questions:

Leafaholic will be a network of websites which will include College Being among other similar sites. All the websites will feature regularly-released (hopefully helpful) articles and videos on different categories for a wide-range of audiences. We will want the sites to be helpful but fun much like College Being. The logo can reflect this.
