3116 Edition November 14-20, 2011 Headline News PCT youth Tu Chungtao shines in international advertising competitions Reported by Simon Lin Reported by Lydia Ma Tu Chungtao, winner of two Mobius Advertising Awards in February this year, won a silver at Pentaward package design competition in October and another silver at New York’s PRINT 2011 competition. His achievement in some of the world’s most prestigious advertising awards has not only made Taiwan proud but also made PCT proud. Tu is the son of a PCT retired pastor from Tainan Presbytery, Rev. Tu Ing-chu. When the elder Tu was recently interviewed on his son’s achievements, he said these achievements not only brought fame to Taiwan but also PCT as a church. Speaking on his son’s exceptional achievements while studying in the U.S., the elder Tu said his son became an honored alumnus by winning several prestigious awards. Upon graduation, Tu began working at the prestigious Wallace Church design company but continued to participate in competitions every year where he would go on to win prestigious awards. Asked about his role in his son’s success, Rev. Tu said, ”I often encourage him to travel to different places to see and appreciate God’s creation.” He added that his son often gets inspiration from God’s creation. As a father and a pastor, he often reminds his son of the importance of making connections between work and faith. Tu’s specialty is in innovative and simple designs. He doesn’t like fancy art and prefers that design ideas be communicated in a simple black-and-white sketch. His works of art have previously been featured in Taiwan Church News as well. ******************** Taiwan Church News is published weekly in Taiwan's local languages.
