You heard it here first.

The alternative literary empire founded by Dave Eggers and including McSweeney's the magazine, books, stores, and The Believer is now opening a small but energetic design office (see card below) called Timothy McSweeney's Design House.

Chris Ying says that Design House is not looking to re-brand IBM and other multinational conglomerates—a few of which have already borrowed the distinctive po-mo, neo-classic proto-post-victorian sensibility—but rather will tackle smaller jobs where the personal touch is welcome.

"Any outside jobs will go through the same creative process as our own stuff," says Ying.

Included on the design team are Mr. Eggers, Eli Horowitz (managing editor cum publisher of McSweeney's), Jordan Bass, and Mr. Ying.
