You’ve been asking for more magazine-inspired themes, and we’ve been listening – today we have two new themes to add to the ever-growing WordPress.com collection!
Our first theme today, Opti, is a premium magazine-style theme from Pro Theme Design. Clean and structured, this theme aims to cover the area between magazine and blog – giving you the opti-mal tools to feature the content you want your users to see most.
Check out some more of Opti’s great features in the Theme Showcase, or activate it immediately by going to Appearance -> Themes.
Next up is Hatch, a responsive portfolio theme for visual artists, illustrators, and photographers. Bold featured images make your art stand out. A prominent welcome message alongside the custom header allows you to introduce yourself and your work, and you can even add your logo to the header.
You’ll “hatch” some of your best ideas with this sleek portfolio theme. Read more about how to set up Hatch on the Theme Showcase, or activate it on your blog by going to Appearance -> Themes.

Bravo theme team! Hatch is a kinda of theme I would love to try, and I’m glad it is kept free. Opti is way too formal for my taste. Thank you for the addition guys.
I can’t really use the magazine theme, but Hatch looks great!
Cool, thanks.
Thank you for listening. I might try that mag theme. Gonna check out the details.
Nice themes!
Magazine themes are my favorite, I’m gonna love Opti theme.
Thank you, WP.com Theme Team.
I love the Opti! But, I’m sticking to my current theme. Just recently changed
I also adore the Hatch – it fits nice for photograph blogs. Both are lovely!
That first theme is brilliant really lovely design
Hot dog! Opti looks perfect for a blog that has accumulated a ton of content on a variety of subjects. I have a blog that fits that description. Big question: Does Opti support WordAds yet??
Hatch is a very sophisticated free theme!
