Futurosity Magazine

Beautiful and unusual Wordpress theme with a strong focus on whitespace and typeface. I see a literary magazine site or designy folk using this to showcase a portfolio. Or maybe a dictionary. The design is really what’s unique about this one; take for example the category landing page, which through just four elements — red & black font, font size and whitespace — still packs a punch.

Visualization

This minimalist theme takes a pyramid approach to content display — one feature story/large image, beneath that three smaller features (with smaller images), then as the base, five thumbnail features bolstered by a big footer. The main nav menu is a bit different than many themes in that it incorporates both pages and categories (sub pages and categories in drop down). An upper nav repeats the categories. Overall a nice theme, but the white space beneath the main story seems underutilized. If you like this theme, you may also want to check out Gridline, a theme by the same maker, Graph Paper Press.

The Unstandard

Beautiful theme. Definitely in the design-y camp and probably less for those who are interested in a text-heavy site. But I see applications of this including a recipe site, an agency website, or perhaps a travel site — anything where a visual representation of the information would have more of an impact.

Unique features: LOVE the text and # of comments overlaid on images, simple and effective color scheme, and the list of categories with counts of posts elegantly implemented in the footer.
