[Tex/LaTex] Fancy header and footers

fancyhdrheader-footer

I would like to create header and footers for all the page in my latex PDF, they should look:

Header

1) one inch thick; background color: Blue; left hand-side: DOCUMENT Title; right hand-side: Logo (logo.jpg; file placed in DOCUMENT folder);

Footers

1) half inch think; background color: Blue; left hand-side: page number; center: Chapter Title; right hand-side: Date; Only even pages.

2) half inch think; background color: Blue; left hand-side: Date; center: Chapter Title; right hand-side: page number; Only odd pages.

\documentclass[twoside,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr, graphicx}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage[usenames, dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[tikz]{bclogo}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{DejaVuSansCondensed}
\makeindex
\begin{document}

\maketitle
\newpage
%-- header here
%-- even footer here

\newpage
%-- header here
%-- odd footer here

\end{document}

Best Answer

This is easily done with TikZ which you're already loading. I didn't set any margins, but if you're using twoside, maybe you want proper margins for the binding. If so, let me know and I'll fix the example.
