Magazine Style Themes

Press

Say you’re looking for a theme for your obscure literary publication. Or perhaps it’s a poetry site. Or something else very artsy. Voila: Press! This Wordpress theme is the one for you. The homepage showcases a lot of content while still remaining very clean and visually appealing. Category-level pages put the focus on photos, so [...]

Platformate Theme

Platformate has a clean and well-organized look, all while showcasing a lot of content. A news or magazine would probably find good use in this theme. Posts by category are featured in the right sidebar, while conversation is encouraged and prominent with recent comments, posts and tags are featured in the left sidebar. Developer: ColorLabsProject [...]

TypeMagz Theme

TypeMagz is a visually stunning theme with well suited for an edgy publication, like a music website or something artsy. Though I have to say that a lot of real estate is sacrificed in the name of being design-y. The homepage features a prominent image behind the header (the image can be refreshed), with links [...]

Arthemia Premium

Arthemia Premium squeezes a lot of content into it’s clean and minimalistic lines, and is probably best suited for those looking to build a content-heavy website, such as a news or magazine site. Cross-pollination is the name of the game, with article categories highlighted in a sort of a middle navigation bar (pages and sub-pages [...]

Mortar Theme

The Mortar wordpress theme strikes me as pretty flexible, though its not as content-heavy on first glance. It’s more of a traditional blog theme, except arranged to look much more visually striking. For instance, the homepage posts appear to be in chronological order, but because the posts have thumbnails and are staggered, you don’t think [...]

The Journal Theme

The Journal is a wordpress theme that looks to be designed to showcase a lot of content and provide a lot of ways of providing editorial control. Highlighted articles are given top billing throughout the site in a pleasant shade of yellow reminiscent of a Post-It note. Recent articles are also squeezed in above the [...]

Tauren

Categories are given left-hand menu treatment in this theme from ThemeSpinner. The HP does a nice job of featuring stories in three separate ways – through the flash slideshow, through three more featured articles and five more articles in list form below. Recent articles, comments and most recent (unclear how recent articles and most recent [...]

Shade Pro

This category-as-super-nav based theme from ThemeSpinner has a three-column HP layout and a two-column article layout.  Design features of note include a robust footer (most recent, most popular, recent comments), as well as some nice touches put to pages that are normally afterthoughts. Article level pages feature the author (with gravatar), comments and page views [...]

The New Yorker

Somewhat of a misnomer, as this theme clearly resembles the New York Times (the New Yorker is a separate magazine), but in any case, this theme gets a resounding thumbs up. Not for the fact that it’s so similar looking to the NYT, but because of it’s heavy widgetization. Check out their widget map (on [...]

News Plus 1.0

A unique looking magazine/news-style theme with many of the features that any robust WP theme hunter is looking for, including a well-thought out header (categories, pages, RSS and sign in box — would have liked to see newsletter on here) and category-based navigation. What I really like about this theme is that a lot of [...]
