I'm going to switch to Illustrator just to indicate how this is created, but what we need here is a line that goes from one corner to the other, and then perpendicular to that diagonal we have a line that intersects with the corner here, and another that intersects with the bottom left corner. So switching over to Illustrator, I'm in the same document I was in in the previous movie, but on a second artboard which is blank, and here I'm in landscape orientation.
