I want to design a slide..maybe its a master slide. I want the same design
for each slide. I want... for example. when the slide comes up a ribbon
unfolds across the top of the screen, or as the next slide comes up a ball
bounces across the screen. I've looked in moving backgrounds, animated
design templates, animated slide designs. I don't know where else to took.
I've taken the ppt tutorial. I don't want the effects like the fade in, or
rotate out or dissolve out. I don't want something like a jack in the box
popping out as every slide comes up. I want something subtle.. not extremly
obvious. Just a little pizazz! Just something neat and different.
 
You're asking for some fairly sophisticated animation. These can be done,
but learning the techniques takes practice as well as patience, because
getting things *just right* can be tedious.

You can combine animation effects, and I'm almost certain you'll need to.
For example, your bouncing ball might combine a motion path and a spin or a
grow/shrink emphasis so it looks like it's getting smaller as it bounces
away. Keep that in mind as you research and learn.

You can find examples of amazing PPT animation at
http://pptheaven.mvps.org/, http://www.tlccreative.com, and

I have to add this: please reconsider your plan. This type of background
animation on every slide is just annoying. I just came back from a show
where presenters were given a template that had a logo in the corner that
animated on every slide. Every single one of them removed the animation!
Every one! It's annoying and distracting. If you want to jazz things up, add
an animation to section break and title slides, but don't do this on every
slide.
