Press Association graphics are designed to complement and explain the stories that we produce every day and now that service offers even more to subscribers.

In the last two years, our graphics service has moved from a primarily print-based service to a richer multi-media graphics experience, incorporating animated graphics produced in flash, flat graphics for web customers and our traditional flat graphics for print.

Flash graphics are now available for all subscribers who wish to increase interactivity within their news and sport offerings on the web. The service is already being used by online customers including AOL, Virgin, Tiscali and MSN.

The graphics are available for viewing and download from our password protected website, or they can be automatically fed to your site to enhance other web services.

Our expert team produce a minimum of two flash graphics per day, one for news and one for sport. They also produce richer, information-packed graphics around big news, showbiz and sport events.

Our graphics are an even more powerful story-telling tool than ever before.
