Make a black rectangle stretching to each side of the canvas

Press Ctrl+Shift+N to get a New Layer. Make a selection that is half the width of your black rectangle fill it with white and set the layer opacity to 15%

On a New Layer draw a 1 pixel thick line across the black box like seen below. Set this layers opacity to “15%”

On a new layer make a thing rectangle selection and fill this box with grey (c6c6c6).
