To make your ordinary slides similar to the Title slide, must modify the “Content & Layout” Master. (Changes made in the Title Master do not carryover to other slides.)
Added same graphic from Clipart used on Title Slide. Changed background color for off-white to this brownish. Changed Font color to yellow & changed from Book Antiqua to
Arial for font to be used in bullet text. Changed Bullet Style & Color to these yellow arrows. Removed the default divider – wrong color, too much of a
curlicue style – to this plain divider which I also changed from default brown to more reddish.

This may not be the most aesthetically pleasing template, but at least my slideshow does not look like a million other ones.
Graphic not one I would most desire, but best I could find from Clipart choices for use here.
To perfect, might want to draw one’s own “book” graphic or seek a better one on web.
