To get your own custom graphics/photos you can either work with an agency like Blue Whale Media who have qualified designers or create some yourself on an online system.
Animated Infographics
Another popular trend in images is animation. A good way to introduce motion graphics is with infographics. People love learning new things, especially if it relates to them. So why not present your data in a way that will attract audiences. Creating an animated infographic is not as simple as creating static graphics though. The best thing to do is work with an agency who has training in motion graphics and animation as they will be able to bring your ideas to life but also make sure that it is in the correct format for you to use.
