------------ 15: MEDIA QUERIES -----------
Using media queries are a popular technique for delivering a tailored style sheet to
desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones (such as iPhone and Android phones).
|----------------------------------------------------------|
| Responsive Grid Media Queries - 1280, 1024, 768, 480 |
| 1280-1024 - desktop (default grid) |
| 1024-768 - tablet landscape |
| 768-480 - tablet |
| 480-less - phone landscape & smaller |
