Remove pagination on Avenue template

I have been trying out different types of custom CSS recommended here on the forums to remove pagination (the navigation at the bottom of my blog posts) at the bottom of each post's page. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful so far. Is there a way to due this with CSS, or does this require modifying the header? Thank you for the help. 

.page-open #projectPages .project-controls {
  display: none;
}

or this may target a bit better either the above or this one goes into custom css. 

.tag-brands nav.BlogItem-pagination.clear {

display: none !important;

}

Hello Derrick,

Thanks for trying to help with this. Sadly, both of these options did not remove the "previous article" and "next article" navigation. I appreciate your help though!
