#2 Tiles, Tiles Everywhere

With Windows 8 having been officially released late last year, Microsoft introduced it's new Metro interface. This features new "Tiles" that act as launch buttons for your apps. Take a look below:


Now, these tiles need images... and that's precisely what this challenge is about: creating an tile-design application that will output images someone can later use for their tiles.

You can make this in any language you want, VB.NET, C#, JavaScript... you name it!

Requirements
To make this a little more interesting, and because we like to play by Microsoft's rules, your application will be required to create at least the following two image sizes:
* 150px by 150px for square tiles
* 310px by 150px for large tiles

These are the only two sizes you need for this challenge. However, you could add scaled versions of the images, according to this table:


Also, the app should do more than just outputting coloured rectangles (ie, add some text, images, etc.)

Note: you are not required to provide the source... for now. Cody might decide later he wants to see it, but that's ultimately up to him.

Bonus points will be awarded to the entries with the most features.

You have 24 hours to complete the challenge, and as always, good luck and go CRAZY!! nerner;
