'lebendig' and 'graphisch' can both mean a very vivid description. A 'lebendige Erzählung' (vivid story) feels close and real, so that you can easily imagine the scene. 'graphisch' emphasizes more strongly that something is presented in a very pictorial and detailed way. The word can also simply have to do with visual presentations, images, or diagrams. In the similar meaning, 'lebendig' often fits more naturally for stories and narratives, while 'graphisch' describes the precise visual effect more strongly.
