Promoted links app is the new feature introduced in SharePoint 2013. Promoted links store the links that will show as tiles on the pages. By default we can see the tiles in SharePoint 2013 team site home page as shown in the below image.
We can add promoted list web part to show tiles as our custom links. To Add Promoted links web part, we need to create new app called "promoted list" by clicking on "Add Lists Libraries and Other apps" title in home page. Click on "Promoted Links" app and create new list called "Promoted Links" as shown below.
Add new Item in the list, by clicking on the ribbon add new item.
Enter Title, Background Image location and Link location. click on "Save" button.
While creating item in the Promoted list, we have a new column called "Launch Behavior", with three options as shown below.

By selecting "Dialog", Target location will show in the same page with dialog box.
By selecting the "New Tab", we can see the Target location in new tab.
