[Resolved] What am I doing wrong with this media query?

It said to make class title font size 1.4rem, which I did. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

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

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

}
h1 {
font-size: 5rem;

}

}

}

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header{
  background:tomato;
    color:white;
  }

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

    }
    h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;

    }

  }

}

look at you brackets, fix that and you are good to go.

media 1020px closing bracket, you closed it after 768 px.

I didn't close my first media query. I got it!

Ya, most of the times it's just silly mistakes and typo errors ;)

You don't have a closing brace after your first query. It probably wants you to do the queries separately instead of nested. @screen { /// your css { } /// } (you're missing that closing one).
