Great moments in advertising

must be so much fun to be a young, internet-savvy graphics designer
working for some stuffy older suits who can barely read their emails. I
can imagine how the designer must have explained the symbolism of this
ad to the clients. Further comments are probably unnecessary.

You are overusing the definite article. There is no need to use a definite article when the noun phrase following it is already restrictive enough.

Yep, I know that the use of prepositions and articles is my main weakness in writing English.

I suggest you start paying serious attention to weaknesses in your English. It's the only way you can ever improve.
Always pay attention to your articles and prepositions. When in doubt, use Google.
