Indeed it's an *interesting* assignment. Two things popped up in my mind:
1) Using Cocoon's sitemap and its components can be very enlightening
experience. They really do are powerfull.
2) While looking your examples, I can't help myself thinking what you
really are expecting Cocoon to be. Usually creating fancy layouts with
numerous graphics and effects are connected in our minds to software
with a powerful graphical user interface. What can you do graphically in
Cocoon. Nothing, because it's a web development framework not a desktop
design software. So you have to be prepared in coding, although you can
do a lot in Cocoon without using any particular programming language.
But still you have to learn also "Cocoon language" + for example XSL-FO
etc..

Just to make sure, are layouts like these possible?

Many, if not all, of these layouts can be created with CSS. Cocoon
would return clean (X)HTML (and many other formats) without any
particular style information. You would just need to ensure that the
HTML elements have appropriate id's.
But how would this apply to rtf or pdf? I mean, there's no equivalent
of CSS
for those formats...
Embedding graphics is possible with both PDF and RTF, though they use
a completely different syntax from CSS.
Therefore, for PDF you would have to manually write "translators" from
XML to FO using XSLT, than Cocoon would take care of transforming FO
to PDF... I guess you would have to do something similar for RTF
(never tried).
Seems to me a rather... hmm... *interesting* assignment ;)
