Maya aka "The Photoshop Queen"
Im your typical 24 year old girl currently wasting her life in Croatia, a small country at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Central Europe, and the Balkans. My mother tongue is Croatian and English is my second language so if you notice typos on my website that would be why. As far as languages go I also know a bit of German and Spanish but lets not test that. Like most people, I have no idea where to start describing myself. Weird, quiet, crazy at times,childish,playful,brutally honest,would probably be the closest words to describe me. Stubbornness and annoyance are my virtues. Im more of a geek girl I understand my computer better then guys and my friends together. I luck of fashion and femininity and Im a tomboy in hear , those are things that make me unique.

Anime/Games:
I lost interest in anime for a while now. I don't know how or why that happened but it probably has to do with the fact that im rarely at home so I cant just sit and watch something then again that's just a lame excuse really. I not even a fan of TV shows. Your probably wondering why most of my graphic is anime related ? For some reason I prefer working with anime rather then real life related things because to me the images are pure fantasy and real life is just that "real". When it comes to anime I cant say that I've seen a lot. Some of my first anime were baby-ish like Doremi,Digimon,Pokemon ,Sailor Moon, then there is the next level Air, Tenjou Tenge,Blue Submarine No. 6,Shuffle,Agent Aika,Najica Blitz Tactics, Chrono Crusade,Inuyasha,Candidate for Goddess,Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna,Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne,WitchBlade,Shaman King,Romeo x Juliet,Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS and the aggressive ones such as , X1999, Elfen Lied,Noir,Hellsing and films Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke. I think I'll stop here.lol you already got bored reading haven't you?

Computer + Photoshop = Web/graphic-Design?
I got in to graphic in summer 2005 after I finished High-school. I was active in forums back then and seeing as sigs were in at the time I decided to make one. The first sig I ever made was in CorelDRAW. The program was confusing as hell so I decided to pass to Photoshop. In January 2006 an on-line friend (now bf) got me a nice illegal Adobe Photoshop CS2 copy.By the way "kids illegal programs are your friends!" He started showing me all of this neat tips and tricks and before I knew it Photoshop became my number one buddy. Music: Music is something I adjust to really easily. Its inspires me , enlightens me and makes me sad and happy depending on my mood and the soongs that playing. My favorite bands are mostly rock related.

About Allianora

As my Photoshop curiosity grown so did my desire to learn new things. So after learning a bit about graphic i decided I to turn to web design so I publish my first website in December 2006 by the name of "Infinity Visions". It was just a regular website with a premade layout and a few things like signatures,avatars and render. Then my site got deleted by my host i9 and everything I ever made was lost. Believe me I still dont know why and how that happened.. So I started over with a new host Chanlu.org which I loved. Later on to blind up content again I got my first co-webmistress Sargent Rose aka Kanzaki which was a good friend from AnimeOst with her I got staff members which were al talented graphic designers. After time IV became a website were you can find everyone else's works but my own. After realizing that in May 2007 I decided to go solo. I removed everything and moved the website to my boyfriend server. he bough me my first domain which was "Allianora.net" which is the name the website is known by today.

The Names:

Allianora was the name of a character in one of my favorite TV series The Invisible Man. The first time I seen the series was back in 2001 when I was hospitalized. Allianora fell in love with the enemy and that way she ended up dieing in the end but that has nothing to do with why I chose the name. I simply liked it at the time and it doesn't really have any particular meaning to it.
Infinity Visions was the name suggested to me by a friend from IRC. I really loved that name but like I mentioned after that website got deleted I wanted a change so that's why I went by another name next time my website went online.
