Fifteen Artistic WordPress Themes

Posted on 06. Mar, 2009 by Adam in Design, Wordpress

If your business is art, design, writing or any other creative endeavor, you want a blog that reflects your style and gives visitors to your site a whole different experience than they would have at a tech blog or a mommy blog.  That’s why I’ve picked out fifteen gorgeous (and free!) artistic WordPress blogs templates that you can use to represent your independent or freelance business.

1. Mosaic:  http://www.freewpthemes.net/preview/mosaic

Lots of texture and muted colors give this blog template a unique look without overwhelming the eyes.  Freelance technical or architectural drawing would be at home on this site.

2. Imagination: http://wordpressthemesbase.com/view/?theme=Books%20and%20Imagination

Perfect for a novelist or writer, this blog is whimsical but can still be used for both men and women.  Features adorable mini-notepads for recent blog posts and recent comments.

3. Cool Star:  http://wordpressthemesbase.com/view/?theme=Cool%20Star

Asian influenced design that combines   modern design and strategically placed vibrant red alongside a neutral organic motif.  This might be a nice choice for interior designers.

4. Creativity Within:  http://wordpressthemesbase.com/view/?theme=08%20Rainbow%20Feather%20(v3)%20-%20English%20Version

Beautiful use of contrasting yellow and blue color and a gorgeous rainbow quill makes this theme a great choice for creative writers.

Bright, funky, with an ultramodern tree design in the header, this theme can work for a multitude of businesses including graphic design.

6. Rainbow Garden Theme: http://topwpthemes.com/rainbow-garden-theme/

Indie artists or crafters will love this charming 1970’s inspired theme.  Think:  Partridge Family meets Hobby Lobby.

13. Scruffy 1.1:  http://wordpressthemesforfree.com/detail/25.html

Show your blog to be what it really is:  A work in progress.  This ‘unfinished’ looking theme looks like a well-loved first draft.
