This was to happen sooner or later, it was only a matter of time before users discovered the full potential of WordPress to power sites outside of their blogs and when that happened, the quest for better themes followed. The obvious progression for designers was towards themes that looked and worked like anything but Kubrick, the result is this new trend. So in recognizing some of the fine work out there, I wish to list in chronological order a few of my personal favorite magazine styled WordPress themes. Note that I personally never got my hands into either creating or using any of these themes (at least as of now), I’ll let my friends at wpSnap dissect it for you in terms of usage and codes.

What is currently out there?

If my memory serves me right, Eston (Bond) of Hyalineskies was one of the earliest to venture into uncharted waters. His “Gridlock” theme did not receive as much attention from the rest of the design community, but users no doubt caught on to it and fondly continue using it to this day.
