Hi,

You have an extra { curly brace between the media query and the .title class. Also make sure you include "screen and" when you declare your media queries to specify the media 

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {

    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }

    h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
}

Hi Daniel, thanks for your response. It still says : Did you specify the correct font size for '.title'?

I was able to complete the challenge with the code below. Try restarting the challenge and re-enter your code, let me know if it works. 

@media screen and (max-width: 1020px){
  .main-header{
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  .title{
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1{
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
