[color=darkblue]Not so long ago, I got a post here telling me where to go to get some grid patterns… But the post got deleted… Does anyone know which one it was? I think it was Soulty who posted it, but I’m not sure… :goatee: [/color]

There are lots of tutorials for this on the net, but if you’re using photoshop, here’s a tutorial you can use to make your own.

Nope , dont remember me posting anything about grid patterns, unless you were talking about the grass pattern, hmmm

anywayz here is a way to create scanlines.

> - quoted from [sitepoint.com](http://sitepoint.com) [http://www.sitepoint.com/article/881/4](http://www.sitepoint.com/article/881/4)\*

To make these simple scanlines, create an image in Photoshop that is 1 pixel wide and 2 pixels tall. Select a square that is 1px by 1px and color it to compliment your design. Then, move that selection down, and fill the new square with another color.

Now like the tutorial eg gave you above, you would define this to a pattern and then fill using the pattern you just defined in a new document.
