Giveaway: Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium for Mac
One of the coolest things that develop in a growing community is the sharing of resources. This attitude and practice is very close to the heart of scripture, and I dig it a lot.
Tyler Sims is donating his old copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium for Mac to one lucky individual.
For many, Adobe’s products their “bread and butter” in terms of what they produce, but it can be a large hurdle to overcome financially. This particular collection originally cost about $1,700 bucks. It includes:
- Dreamweaver
- Flash Professional
- Photoshop Extended
- Illustrator
- Fireworks
- Acrobat 9 Pro
- Contribute
So, if you (or your ministry) is in need of a copy, please just leave a comment below with your name and what you intend on using it for. The winner will be determined randomly this Friday.
Thanks so much Tyler for giving out of your abundance to someone else in need!
Also, if you’ve got anything else like this to donate, please let me know!
Buzz it!

Engaging with People with the Right Tools (or No Tools at All) 
Name: Kyle Reed
I would love to use it for the church and community.
I am a struggling freelancer who is still using Adobe CS and would the upgrade.
I know it is random selection, but I hope I get a shot.
I do a lot of graphic design for churches at a very cheap if not free rate. This would make the hard work a little bit easier
howdy. we are planting a church! and it would be absolutely amazing to have access to this software for our church to be able to create early in this process! thanks for this giveaway!!! awesome!
Steve Hart
We are starting a church plant that could most definitely use the software.
Name: Aaron Floyd
I am a worship arts pastor in idaho. We have several people who are dying to do some design work but we do not have the software that we need. This would help us give people something to do!
Name: Phil Morgan
Church planting in Anna, Texas and the suite would really save us money in the long run in design fees and outsourcing what we could otherwise do ourselves but can't afford to buy the program to get it done! Thanks for the shot…it's always fun to watch these giveaways…win or not!
Great idea for the giveaway. I'm the pastor of a small but growing church and I also do all our graphic design. I do most of our sermon series graphics as well as video projects for the church. I'm trying to use Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, but they just don't have the power that I really need. They work for most projects, but the lack of CMYK support has caused me trouble working with commercial printers. I've also used the free inkscape for MAC, but again, Illustrator is much easier to use. Anyway, I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks for helping a brother out
I’m doing this for my wife who is our church adminsitrator.
Our church is going through a lot of change. Recently we acquired our own building which means such a huge amount of new things can be done. My wife’s job is set to diversify at a huge rate.
Currently she creates notices on software that is not up to the job. Creative suite would give her the tools to do the job right and as we take up a physical presence on our local high street it means we can be the vibrant church both spiritually and visually.
Wow. This would be amazing. I have still been operating off Photoshop Elements 2.0 for a lot of my design work. I’m going to be working on design marketing for a benefit concert called The Extended Melody Project. All donations for this event go to an orphanage in Brazil. With new software I would also be working on a good redesign of my blog which is up to raise awareness and funds for international adoption. I would also be using CS3 for educational programming and teaching that I do in the college residence hall where I live. Image is the new text.
Tyler, thank you for sharing and being communally minded.
Peace,
Travis
Aaron Asay – we'd love to use this Software Package to redesign our current and future ministry websites – I know there's lots of new stuff in there that would be great to utilize!
Name: Chad Herring
I echo the kudos for the great give away idea and a gratitude for the offering.
I'm an associate pastor at a church that needs help getting into the 21st century with its outreach and worship ministries. This suite will help us start moving there.
I am a church planter in Keller, TX. My wife and I co-pastor our community together. We are attempting to find creative ways to connect with people in our suburban landscape. The resources in CS3 would be wonderful tools at helping us in communicating through art the beauty of the Kingdom. Digital media helps us return to symbol and metaphor. Thanks for your consideration.
I am a youth pastor in TX and our ministry can't afford something like this so it would be great to have it.
I will be using this wonderful software package to assist in fulfilling the vision of Compass Point Church!
Great idea on the giveaway. My wife is a graphic designer and this would help to fulfill her dream of starting her own company as a way to give back to organizations like Love 146 and The Mocha Club. Here's to hoping.
My name is Santos Samayoa and I hope to use it to start designing logos to brand new sermon series for our single adult groups and sunday mornings. cant wait!

Age: 29
Occupation: Technical Director at Madison Park Church
Reason: I don't need it, but my in-laws serving on the ground in Berlin, Germany do. Help me, help them. They're in need of such tools. No scam either. I would be able to personally verify the "transaction."
I am a missionary in Ukraine where we have a Bible institute with 500 (extension), working in both Ukrainian and Russian languages. We'd use this in making our logo, our website, catalog & oh so much more! Being in Ukraine, we are pretty limited in resources. Lots of pirated programs are around, but I want us to use only legal copies of materials. Finding them, let alone affording them is a trick. Yes, the programs are in English— but we're willing to work with them. Thanks for the consideration!
Def could use those programs. About to hire a administator/graphic designer.
We would love to have a copy of CS3. We have a whole group of volunteers that would benefit from it. Thank you for giving an opportunity like this.
my wife and i would love the suite… i'm working on a church plant and throwing charity-parties for the unchurched and my wife is getting started with her photography career!
