The magazine style theme for WordPress seems to be a more popular choice these days, with web sites wanting to look less like your standard blog and more like a professional web site. Here are three of my favorites from this unique theme category:

1. Revolution from RevolutionTheme.com

It will cost you around $80 for a single use license, but oh man – is it ever awe inspiring. One of the first to really make a name for magazine style WordPress theming, Revolution continues to be the top dog.

2. Grid Focus from 5thirtyone.com

This theme is a three column WordPress work of art. It also is distributed for free and is not dependent on having any certain WordPress plugins to work.

3. WordPress Magazine Theme from solostream.com

The name is simple enough, and this theme also delivers (as long as you wish to pay the almost $80 price tag). I do believe though this would be a good investment if you wanted a theme that made you look more professional and a little different than all the rest. Loads of banner ad space on this one too for advertising bliss.

As you can see there are loads of quality WordPress magazine themes out there if you know where to look. For more, the crew at Theme Playground has a nice roundup of some of the best of the best magazine themes available.
