A header is an image that is usually placed on the top of a blog or website. It is normally horizontal which consists of the logo, or some other elements such as social media icons, an advertisement banner or search bar. Also, the header will probably contain the primary color of the website or blog to give the look and feel of the page. On the other hand, a banner usually serves for advertising or informative purposes. A banner can be various sizes such as horizonatal, vertical, or square. You can use banners on social media to advertise events or new products as well. Whereas the banner is used for advertisement, the header is purely for the top of the page for branding or recognizing the site.
