When you select File -> New from the menus, expand (ie. click on) "Advanced 
Options". It will give you some additional controls where you can specify 
the image resolution in pixels/in. You can then enter the image width and 
height as 58 and 72 respectively and set the units to "inches".

For an image of the size you are talking about, a vector based image might 
be more appropriate but that is for you to decide based on the type of 
imagery you want. (ie. photos vs pen/ink illustrations).
