logo area (the default is the university logo, which can be changed: Theme settings, Header, Logo)
upper external links area (links can be added: Theme settings, Header, Top links)
top menu area (top menu display can be configured: Theme settings, Header, Header style)
header area (blue background or image on which the page title can be displayed, header area can be configured: Theme settings, Page)
sidebar menu area (the display of the sidebar menu can be configured: Theme settings, Header, Header style) – the sidebar menu is displayed on the left by default, but it can also be displayed on the right of the content section in the case on sidebars layout (Theme settings, Page, Page Layout -> With sidebar(s), Sidebar settings -> Primary on the right)
content area where you can display WordPress content types (pages, posts, events)
footer (Theme settings, footer)

Click Theme settings, Page to create header.

Add a title to your website (Settings, Site title). You can also hide the display of the site title (Theme settings, Page, Show global title, Hide).
Add a global featured image to your site (Theme settings, Page, Global featured image, Add Image), which can be added with two different heights (Bannersize, Small/Large) or not to display it at all (Show global banner, Hide). By default, the site has a smaller header area.

For best results, the image should be at least 1920×280 (Small) or 1920×480 (Large) in size. When adding a header image, the image will be cropped, but make sure that the appropriate image area is displayed after cropping (e.g. people’s heads are not cut off).
It is possible to replace the header image for individual pages or posts with another image (Edit page, Featured image) or not display it at all (Edit page, Page settings, Show global banner, Hide).
