I did a study on design in the browser about a year ago and I remember learning about another tool which designers can use to compliment style tiles. I seem to remember it being called an "object palette"; but now I doubt that was the exact name of it because the object palette is just a part of some adobe app, (can't remember which one - or maybe it's all of them .
Can anyone help me to remember? If style tiles were a device for developing the typography, colours, textures and general mood, then these other things were similar except that they are for larger elements such as contact forms, headers, menus, media players, galleries etc.
