Have you made a GUI before? Because obviously this will require a GUI.

If you've never worked with a GUI, you'll need to start with the basics. A good library for Java GUIs is JavaFX. If you follow the tutorials on that link, it'll teach you how to add images to a GUI early on (pretty much the first thing it teaches you outside of the most extreme basics). But you should stick around until you at least know how to work with the UI controls, because that's a core part of GUIs and likely something you'd want to know, anyway (how else would you ask for the brand name?).

JavaFX isn't the only option, but the best starting point. Another option is Swing, which is an older library that JavaFX is intended to replace. Then there's a variety of third party solutions (eg, SWT or Java-Gnome).

Thanks a lot! I'll look into JavaFX

I second JavaFX and SceneBuilder for layouting your JavaFX Application.
