I'd use 'graphical' when referring directly to the picture, etc,, and 'graphic' to refer to the area, subject:
A graphical representation
A graphic designer
Graphic- this can also mean full of colourful and usually unpleasant details- a graphic description.

graphic / graphical, use /usage 
Linear Mode
