• The girl's t shirt advertises her college. This is encouraging people to look into the college and perhaps consider attending it.
• There is a house style which keeps the magazine consistent and therefore looks more effective than if it was all different fonts.
• There are conventional features to this cover such as a masthead, a barcode, a date, anchorage and the price.

• The price 'free' is on the cover but I don't think it is needed because people do not need to be informed of something's price if it doesn't have one. This is why there is no barcode.
• There are some conventional features on this cover such as a masthead and some anchorage.
