How to Create a Presentation that Uses Different Graphics for the Title and Content Slides

If you want to use different graphics on the title and content slides of your presentation, insert the graphics that you want into the title and slide masters. By doing so, the graphic appears in each slide of your presentation in the same location as it does on the master. Changes to the title master affect only slides that use the title slide layout, and changes to the slide master affect all other existing slides in your presentation, including any new slides that you add to it.

Create the Title Master and Add a Graphic to It

1. Open a new blank presentation that uses a combination of title slide layout and content slide layout.
   
   NOTE: The title slide must use a title slide layout that contains placeholders for a title or subtitle and headers and footers. The content slides can use any other type of slide layout that includes placeholders for other content, such as a bulleted list, a table, a chart, a title, or text.
2. On the View menu, click Normal.
3. Click the first title slide, point to Master on the View menu, and then click Slide Master.
4. On the Insert menu, click New Title Master.
5. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Clip Art or From File.
6. Locate and click the clip or picture that you want to insert, and then click Insert clip or Insert (as appropriate).
7. On the View menu, click Slide Sorter.
   
   Verify that the graphic that you inserted appears only on the title slides of your presentation.
8. To edit the title master, point to Master on the View menu, and then click Title Master.
