How to create a breakpoint

The question wants me to create a breakpoint for screens 480px and up and then to change the h1 font-size to 2.5em. My answer shown below is coming up incorrect. Not sure where I am going wrong. Thanks!

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

css/main.css 
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }
}


a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

Hey Sage,

Your CSS is correct. However, its placement in the Style Sheet is not.

Media Queries need to be added at the end of a Style Sheet. Right now, you have it at the top, but if you look a bit down the sheet, there is another rule targeting the <h1>, so the rule in the Media Query will be overwritten by that, thus rendering the media query useless.

Just move it to the end of the Sheet and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :dizzy: :)
