This thesis presents an investigation of meson and baryon properties in the framework of covariant bound-state equations based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. Pion and rho-meson, diquark, nucleon and delta-baryon masses are obtained as self-consistent solutions of the respective equations for $q\bar{q}$, $qq$, $qqq$ and $q(qq)$ systems. The common parenthesis is given by a rainbow-ladder truncation in the quark-(anti-)quark channel. It includes an effective quark-gluon coupling as the only phenomenological input and inherent link in the calculation of meson and baryon observables. Results for hadron masses and the pion's and nucleon's static electromagnetic properties as a function of a self-consistently calculated pion mass are presented and compared to lattice results and their chiral extrapolations. The evolution of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors with larger photon momentum is investigated. The impact of further contributions beyond rainbow-ladder, e.g. pionic corrections, and possible future applications are discussed.
