simplest graphics in c++? which is easy to learn in a week and is not too complicated

i am a freshman i don't have experience of programming that much. my game doesn't have any dimensions. its just like looking into a phone directory. you enter something its gives you information stuff like that. i tried looking in allegro. but before i totally get into that i would like suggestions for what should i do? nothing is in movement in my game. suppose its an information system. its way too simple so i want the graphics too be really appealing. i only have a week. please keep that in mind. i appreciate the suggestions.
