You're targeting the wrong h1 element which is not a class. change it to h1

@media (max-width:1020px) {
  .main-header {background:tomato;color:#fff;}
}

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

}

Great! Thanks.

I believed I had tried it but I guess I didn't get the syntax right
