He illustrated more than 300 covers for Time magazine as well as several covers for Fortune magazine. Baker also created posters for the American Legion and in 1939 he was hired by the Works Progress Administration to paint the mural titled 'Economic Activities in the Days of the Narragansett Planters' at the Wakefield, Rhode Island post office. He drew political cartoons for Poughkeepsie's Evening Star newspaper. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.

[Note: Founded in 1930 by Henry Luce, Fortune magazine targeted an affluent audience with its luxurious design, in-depth articles, and striking photography. The magazine survived and thrived over the decades by adapting to changing times and maintaining its reputation as a high-quality business publication. Quite a feat for a magazine born in such challenging times.]
