# --description--

This section of the curriculum focuses on Applied Visual Design. The first group of challenges build on the given card layout to show a number of core principles.

Text is often a large part of web content. CSS has several options for how to align it with the `text-align` property.

`text-align: justify;` spaces the text so that each line has equal width.

`text-align: center;` centers the text

`text-align: right;` right-aligns the text

And `text-align: left;` (the default) left-aligns the text.

# --instructions--

Align the `h4` tag's text, which says "Google", to the center. Then justify the paragraph tag which contains information about how Google was founded.

# --hints--

Your code should use the text-align property on the `h4` tag to set it to `center`.

```js
assert($('h4').css('text-align') == 'center');
```

Your code should use the text-align property on the `p` tag to set it to `justify`.

```js
assert($('p').css('text-align') == 'justify');
```
