To apply the title master, you have to set the slide to the title slide layout.
To do so, click Format > Slide Layout.
Under Text Layout, select the Title Slide Layout icon.

Thanks for your reply. How can I get the title master design to be shown
under the design templates?

You can't, unless it is a slide master design.

As Shawn says, you can't. Only Slide masters, not Title masters, appear in the
listing of templates and layouts.
You could force the issue by adding a new SLIDE master and modifying it so that it
looks like you want your titles to appear.
The drawback is that you'd have to select and apply it whenever you create a title
slide. PowerPoint will not apply it automatically for you.
