2. Choose View > Fit on Screen. Using the Rectangular Marquee tool, draw a box on the top half of the shape as shown and fill it with black.
3. Choose Select All, then Edit > Define Pattern. In the resulting dialog box, rename the pattern “Line Screen” and click OK. Choose File > Close. Don’t save.
4. Return to your file. In the Layers palette, click the Create New Layer icon.
5. Choose Edit > Fill. Use the options shown and click the Custom Pattern button. In the Pattern picker, select the Line Screen pattern you just created. Click the Custom Pattern button again to close the picker. Click OK to exit the Fill dialog box.
6. Set the Layer mode to Overlay and the Opacity to 50%.



Extra tip:
Take it a step further by adding vertical lines. Follow the same steps as above, but when you create a new pattern use the options shown in the dialog box. Everything else stays the same.
