Bummer! Did you change the h1 font-size to 2.5em for devices larger than 480px?

Any ideas what is going wrong? Cheers

Hey James,

good job! Your code is actually correct, the problem is that it gets overwritten by this rule

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

and in particular by the font-size that is set there. That happens because this rule comes after the media query you set and due to the cascading nature of CSS it gets overwritten then. That's why you should normally write your media queries in the end and not in the beginning. So if you put your media query in the end it should work just fine, I hope that helps! :)

Thanks very much for the quick reply A great help!
