Magazine is one of the most popular layout among WordPress bloggers. I prefer using custom themes or using premium themes over free themes because of coding standards and customization features, and Themeforest is a source of best designed themes for almost all popular CMS.
Magazine layout has one advantage over blog layout that it suits different kinds of content. With some simple tweaks, you can use the magazine layout to fit your content in beautifully. Some good examples of magazine layout are Mashable, The Next Web, The Huffington Post, VentureBeat etc.
Here’s a list of 11 of the newly released Magazine Themes for WordPress.
